I'm trying to use Bandwidth Monitor to manage our 25GB satellite data quota at home with 6 older kids and lots of devices.
Here is my current configuration:
Satellite modem (Excede)
|
V
NetGear FVS318G Firewall/Router - DHCP (192.168.1.10-49)
192.168.1.1
|
V
192.168.1.8
BM Bridge Box (2 NICs with bridge configured per BM internal bridge instructions)
192.168.1.9
|
V
NetGear GS108T Smart Switch -> PCs, other Ethernet devices
192.168.1.10
|
V
Belkin N750 DB Wi-Fi (AP mode)
192.168.1.50
|
V
iPods, Phones, laptops, etc.
192.168.1.11+
The bridge can ping the LAN ip addresses including wireless devices and can ping gateway and the internet. PCs connected to GS108T Switch via ethernet can ping the internet and LAN ip addresses too. Wireless devices connected to the Belkin AP cannot connect to the internet but can ping LAN addresses.
My rules for individual devices (primarily MAC based) on the LAN detect no activity when looking at the 192.168.1.8 (WAN) interface but do detect a little activity on the 192.168.1.9 (LAN) interface. I do not have the "ignore LAN traffic" checked per the recommendation with internal bridging.
It appears that the bridging isn't working correctly although I'm only marginally network savvy so could be doing something dumb.
Here is the bridge BM Box configuration:
Running Windows 7 with windows firewall disabled.
NIC1 (WAN side)
IP - 192.168.1.8
Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
Metric - 100
NIC2 (LAN side)
IP - 192.168.1.9
Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - none
Metric - 50
Added the static route: route -p ADD 192.168.1.1 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.8
Do you see what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks and I love the product so far - very easy to understand and configure. Kudos on a straight forward design!
