Gargoyle Forced forwarding

I just got a gargoyle with I believe firmware 1.1.4? The purpose I bought it is to force all wifi users to the unit to a static ip. On my stand alone server the unit won't be hooked to the net it will be direct to a pc at 192.168.1.XXX running like tiny server. Can someone please tell me how to configure this or please tell me whare I can find docs that tell me how to do this?
Thanks

Im totally not following you.
If you're just talking about assigning a static IP, then look under the DHCP link. You can assign each computer on the network it's own internal ip adress (192.168.1.xxx).
Or do you want it to look like:
"INTERNET -> Computer ->Router->More computers" or something?
And if you're talking about IP Transparency, good luck

Im looking to take ALL wifi connections and force them to 192.168.1.XXX or 10.0.0.XXX.

Er, by default they should already be 192.168.1.xxx
Or do you want specific addresses, in which case you would have to specify each one individually?
What do you mean by 192.168.1.xxx OR 10.0.0.xxx?

Ok, I'll bite...
I *think* what dano is trying to say, is no matter what address they type in their browser, they are redirected to a specific local IP address (a captive portal?) where he runs a server.
Do you mean always, or just the first time? Like a login or warning page?
Gargoyle does not do this at present.

Ah. Yeah, you can't do that at the present time I don't think.

I think what you would need to do is setup a firewall rule in OpenWRT, you would need to telnet into your router, you can't do it through the Gargoyle interface, if that helps.

Google for - iptables
That should be what you want.
You're looking for rules to point any web addresses typed in to
get rejected and goto 1 specific address.
I'll see if I can find something and post some links as well.
And yes, as said above, you won't set this up through the
Gargoyle web interface.
This involves telnet into the router and manually typing in the code.
