WRT54g Router

[Legios]

Im looking at using DD WRT to get some more life out of the 2 routers I have. Is it possible to have them be completely configurable to spoof some of my other networks to complete troubleshooting in my shop. For example, all the screen shot for DDWRT with DHCP turned on have the network starting as 192.168.4.X.
The IP for 192.168.4 are already set, I need it to start at 205.xxx.xxx.xxx. Is that possible? I looked at tomato as well and it does the same thing. Is the 192.168 something hardcoded into the linksys stuff?

205.x.x.x is a public IP address range, so no, you wouldn't be using that for an internal private network. However, you CAN use any private network address range on the router. It doesn't have to be the 192.168.x.x range.

The Private IP address ranges are 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255.

Ok, Even if we own those Public facing IPs? We use them as internal private networks. Dont ask my why, its how it was setup and its working even though we have 800 public ips that maybe only 10 of them actually are accessible from the outside.

Thanks

If you own that IP address range, then you can use them. You just wouldn't want to do it with public IPs that you don't own as that can cause routing problems.

Excellent news, thanks.

Worked Perfectly, Thanks Far.
