I have ASG ver 7.301. The computer running ASG has 3 NIC cards. eth0 is connected to my home LAN, eth1 is connected to my cable modem and eth2 is connected to a Linksys wireless access point. I use eth2 as a DMZ so visitors can connect their laptops to the access point, but they will be isolated from the my home LAN on eth1. The eth2 is on a different subnet then eth1.
Everything works okay, but I wanted to better understand the setup of my Linksys AP on the eth2/DMZ (Model WRT54GX). In the Basic Setup screen their is a section called Internet Setup. I can choose from DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE and some others. I have it setup as DHCP, but I don't understand when I should use DHCP and when I should use static IP. I'm not really clear on what this section is doing under the setup I have. There is another section called Router IP and here I have a static IP set for the access point, this is the IP I put in my browser to get to the linksys interface. Can someone explain how the Internet Setup section works? I don't even know if it's used in my scenario.
