LAN and wan in the same IP range, like this:
LAN 192.168.100.50, Wan 192.168.100.2
I think it doesn t work and i cannot reach the lan IP interface.
Is that a General Problem or only a routing Problem?

can never work. change either one

General problem?? Its not a problem, its just not how it works. Think about it for a second or 2 ;) If you tell router hey you have the same network on 2 different interfaces connected to 2 different physical networks. How does it know which one to use to talk to say 192.168.100.42 ??

Why would anyone want to do such a thing in the first place?

Ohh…you are right. It was a stupid configuration failure deep in the night...i didnt think about it.
Thanks :o ;D
