I have a netgear 3500l with tomato (shibby). my problem is I don't want it to issue IP addresses (i.e be a dhcp). I have connected it to our office network but all the devices that attach to it get the 192.168..... address. If I disable dhcp in the firmware and connect the upstream connection to a lan port then it issues the addresses correctly from our dhcp server BUT then I cannot connect to the tomato webpage for the device to make changes. If i connect the upstream connection to the WAN port, then I can administer the device but the devices connected to it don't get an I.P. I have set the device with a fixed ip address, wireless acces point, dhcp & dns disabled, gateway mode. Am i missing something here, should the network connect to its WAN or LAN port. (if connected to LAN port then how do i get access to the firmware). I thought it would be a simple task but i've been pulling my hair out.
