initial configuration (newbie)

[irv]

hello forum,

i would like to use gargyole for QoS, but i have only very little know-how concerning networking, etc. i have done some reading around here.

actually, my situation is the follwing:

Code: Select all

[ISP] --- [Modem] --- [Netgear] --- [Buffalo] --- [LAN 192.168.1.*]

Modem is an ADSL Modem.

Netgear WNR3500L v2 192.168.1.251: does the PPTP-login. i don't know, how to to use PPTP with gargoyle. wan-port used. no DHCP used.

Buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh 192.168.1.250: is running gargoyle 1.6.2 for QoS. no wan-port used. DHCP used. configured as "Gateway". in menu Connection, Internet/WAN is "Disabled".

Actually, gargoyle displays all connected hosts. In the connection list, in Column "QoS Up/Down" only "NA" is display in each line.

i assume, the reason for "NA" is, that gargoyle only detects lan-traffic, no wan-traffic.

how can i configure my system to have QoS with gargoyle?

any help greatly appreciated.

thanks, irv.

You want the lan port of your netgear into the WAN of your gargoyle.

I am pretty sure you can do PPTP (I think it might be a plugin) but if it applies to Openwrt it should work fine in gargoyle.

QoS only works on the WAN port and only works with your Gargoyle router in Gateway mode.

You must plug the WAN connector on the Buffalo router into the LAN port of the Netgear. Then all other device must connect to the Buffalo router only.

The optimum configuration for you is likely:

Code: Select all

[ISP] --- [Modem] --- [Buffalo] --- [LAN 192.168.1.*]

Since your Netgear does nothing really in your setup except be a risk for problems. Gargoyle does not support PPTP, it supports PPPoe which most ADSL modems use. If you want to pursue this option post screen shots of the connection configuation of your Netgear router and the make/model number of your ADSL modem.

pbix: PPoE is not possible, ISP doesn't support that. this is my understanding.

when i plug the lan-port from Netgear to the wan-port from buffalo, i don't have internetaccess.

as soon as i plug the lan-port on netgear with the wan-port on buffalo, i cannot ping the netgear any more.

maybe, because actually in "gargoyle - connection - internet/wan" the "connect via" ist "disabled".

if i make it "enabled", i have three (wired) choices:

(1) DHCP => i have tried, does not work. dont get an ip-adress
(2) PPoE => does not make sense here. not supported from isp. the netgear does the login with the modem/isp.
(3) Static IP => maybe this one?

is it correct, that i have to "enable" the "Internet/WAN" when i plug into the wan-port?

if i use "static ip", i have tried the following values, but i don't have internetaccess:

static ip: 10.1.1.10
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (the same as in my lan)
gateway: 192.168.1.252 (the netgear)
wan ethernet port: bridge to lan
drop ping from wan side: not checked

any ideas?

It appears your Netgear router is at 192.168.1.252? Then is it managing the 192.168.1.x subnet which cannot also be managed by Gargoyle.

Change your Gargoyle router to be 192.168.2.1.
Configure it to connect via DHCP on the WAN port.
Finally connect the Gargoyle WAN port to the LAN port of the Netgear.

I think it might be an option to give the PPTP plugin a go. I mean, you're only just into the initial setup of the gargoyle anyway so any lost settings/effort can't be too bad

i found that tutorial. I was certain that when I was browsing the git the other day that the pptp plugin still exists. Though I've never tried it.

That was what I was thinking..........

good morning from austria

>>I think it might be an option to give the PPTP plugin

good idea. could be mine....(:-)

i've already tried that.

the plugin from vpnonline.pl is not part of gargoyle.
i have found no way, do put that plugin into gargoyle.
and i did not found any hints on other sites regarding making plugins work on gargoyle.

found the plugin: https://www.gargoyle-router.com/gargoyl ... 5709bee0c2

did not find anybody with an idea how to install that plugin: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6753


with best regards,

by refreshing plugins at the bottom of the page, PPTP plugin showed up for me.

try 1.7.1 Gargoyle in my opinion.

[irv]

tried that again now....and it works!
