      Hi

      I have used 1.2.3 with not problems, but im getting some strange things happening with 2.0

      My WAN gateway is a Fixed IP ADSL connection, using a Netgear Modem
      The interface is set to DHCP, but the Gateway shows the wrong IP

      As you can see below the IP shows as 78.xxx.xx.103, but the IP fixed to this ADSL connection is 78.xxx.xx.102

      GW_OPT1  192.168.10.1  443.171ms  0.0%  Online

      GW_OPT2  192.168.20.1  96.304ms  0.0%  Online

      WAN  78.xxx.xx.103  181.952ms  0.0%  Online

      Can anyone explain why I am seeing this?

      Thanks in advance

        Look at

        ipconfig -a
        

        and

        netstat -rn
        

        It's possible that your IP is 102 on ifconfig, and 103 is your gateway.

        Though usually with ADSL on many providers the gatway IP is something in a private net and not a "real" IP, since it doesn't matter so much to PPP links.
