I tried that. |
| 62 |
As the simplest test, I added this on ddwrt: |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
route add -host 8.8.8.8 gw 192.168.0.32 |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Where 192.168.0.32 is the private IP of my ADSL router. But when I say |
| 67 |
ping 8.8.8.8 from ddwrt, I don't get any response. |
| 68 |
Any idea why this happens? |
