Alright just when you think you are a pro, I am a bit puzzled:

I am trying to deploy a new gateway. The router runs tomato shibby firmware with DMZ pointed to 192.168.1.44, the ampr-gw.

When I run tcpdump I see the rip announcements and my route table is populating, but I don't see my test pings, etc coming from the general internet (and there is a dns entry)

Do you have to set a special ip rule vs if the wan interface is an outside IP. I have a tried a few things that I thought made sense with no luck. Could someone who is also behind nat share their start script with me?

I guess I need to build a gateways with different hardware more often.

Thanks
