About setup gateway

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Ubuntu-6.06.1_LAMP-server-amd64

Connection:
Server --> Router --> Modem --> ISP

The connection to Internet is running fixed/static IP. I have domain registered. I suspect the router which was supplied and presetup by ISP on loan, has been locked by ISP. The internel IP of the server is 192.168.0.10. IP address 192.168.0.1, LAN, on the router is locked by ISP. Typing 192.168.0.1 on browser requested login and password. Typing admin login and password did not work.

Now I'm prepared to build my own gateway including firewall on an old PII box running OpenBSD as OS. The new connection will be;
Server --> Gateway --> Modem --> ISP

The router will be removed for other use, not necessary going through 2 gateway.

Please advise what information are needed from ISP to setup my own gateway. What is the reason for ISP to lock IP address 192.168.0.1 on the router which is on my LAN.

TIA

Hi glasdave,

Linksys Cable/DSL Router
Model BEFSR41v2"

Previously I made following test
- removed the Router and connected the server direct to the Modem
- it can ping my static/fixed IP
- if failed to ping URL and IP address of websites on Internet, saying "unrechargebale"
