Not able to ping WAN side network from LAN side with OpenWRT on WGR614L

[tufani]

Hi ,
I have flashed my WGR614L with OpenWRT but I am not able to ping a host in my WAN side network from LAN side ......
Could any body plz tell me what should I do ....

This seems to be a natting related issue ... As natting might not be woprking on your board so the router is not able to do address translation ..

Check your iptables rules, "iptables -t nat -L". I am guessing that you have not added a natting rule, thus its not natting. You may find the following useful...

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0.1 -j MASQUERADE

I would suggest adding X-Wrt to your image. It provides a user interface that will help you configure OpenWRT to do what you want.

thnx for the feedback ... Though I am not able to add X-WRT package ... but I have enabled
NAT related options in my image ... I also needed to modify the file /etc/config/firewall in order to get LAN to WAN traffic working ... and now this is working on NetgearWGR614L with OpenWRT firmware ....

Is X-WRT a different GUI than, say, LuCI? Or is X-WRT something different?

EDIT: Googled for myself and found out that yes, it's a different GUI, and is actually outdated as LuCI has replaced this for the newer builds of OpenWRT. Also just noticed that this thread was originally ended in 2008, so I don't expect a response. A note to nam228 - replying to four-year old threads probably won't get you many answers. I'd suggest either starting a new thread or going to OpenWRT and starting a thread there.
