Gargoyle Forum

Eric: My wife thinks she is a computer widow at the moment so I won't be testing this for a while. From what BikeMike says I'm pretty confident that it works OK. Thanks so much for sorting this out.

Many households I know have a designated member for downloading movies etc. In one instance I know of members are even happy for the designated member to consume all the allocated quota cos they later share the movies. Just seems it would be more manageable to have a central shared cache for movies ...

Thinking of setting up a caching server inside the firewall. Rationale: Users are encouraged, in the first instance, to use the bandwidth quota allocated to the caching server rather accessing an internet site directly and using up bandwidth quota allocated to their own device. Saves unnecessary dup...

Apart from my mistaken thinking that checking WAN IP was the default setup for DDNS, the other reason I pursued the PPPoE connection setup was that I thought it would make things easier when connecting Gargoyle to a modem/router that used the same address space as Gargoyle (ie. just set it to bridge...

Eric: In response to the following: I get: These are the Primary and Secondary DNS Servers of my ISP provider.

Trying to delve a little deeper but not getting very far. All my experience with BusyBox (not very much) up till now has been with setups where all the commands have been compiled into BusyBox. I tried: ln -s /bin/busybox ls ./ls the system returns with: ls I suspect this means ls has not been compi...

With DHCP connection: login as: root root@192.168.1.1's password: BusyBox v1.11.2 (2009-07-31 07:43:52 EDT) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. _______ ________ __ | |.-----.-----.-----.| | | |.----.| |_ | - || _ | -__| || | | || _|| _| |_______|| __|_____|__|__||_____...

I've been tearing my hair out trying to replicate the problem with forcing DNS to those servers specified by the router. Oh, sorry about that :cry:. I'll do my best to help solve this. At the risk of making a stupid comment (again), I've noticed that if I connect via DHCP things work as expected. I...

Eric: Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that Gargoyle used WAN IP by default. That's why I set mine up for PPPoE.
Hako: I have a friend who lived in China for a few years. He indicated that they can make internet use very frustrating.

For your public (dynamic) IP to appear at the WAN interface of a router you need to setup the router connection for PPPoE. This involves configuring the upstream modem/router for bridge mode. I find that it is easier to follow what is going on if you do this setup in two steps: 1. Configure your mod...
