Hello all,

I searched the forum about this and I haven't found something helpfull.

I'll describe my setup in brief.

I have an ADSL modem-router with IP 192.168.1.1
My m0n0 WAN IP is static 192.168.1.7
My LAN is on 172.16.20.1 serving office PC's
My OPT1 is on 10.10.10.1 with 4 wireless access points connected.

What I want is to access the 4 access points with IP's 10.10.10.10, 10.10.10.20, 10.10.10.30 and 10.10.10.40 from a PC with IP 192.168.1.10 connected to the WAN side (that is directly to the ADSL modem-router).

I have tried to allow the firewall to pass all traffic from both the WAN and OPT1 interface but it doesn't work.

The reason I want this, is because I have remote access to this specific PC (192.168.1.10) from anyware in the world using remote desktop access with the well known LogMeIn service (free for 5 PC's).

So I'm logging in from anywhere to that specific PC and I can access m0n0wall webGUI (from the WAN side) but i cannot access my wireless access points layed on OPT1.

What rules do I need to configure for this specific setup ?

Thank you in advance and sorry for the long post.

Regards
Fanis

From what you describe, you need either a static route on the ADSL router or PC that you are remoting into to direct traffic to the OPT1 subnet.  The PC will use it's default route to find IPs not on it's subnet, presumably it's default gateway is the ADSL router.  So you either need to tell the PC or the ADSL router to route traffic for the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet through the WAN IP address of the monowall box.
