One device was the server and I initially had it set to offer a limited number of IP addresses. The client device would request a single IP address within the narrow range offered by the server. It worked, I believe, because the static address the client was requesting was available at the server and no other client devices were requesting addresses.. I have since changed the server (Netis DL4201) to offer a Static address to my linksys SOHO routers' MAC. In my setup the Netis ADSL modem only routes to the SOHO Linksys router. I turned everything else (ftp server, UPnP) in the ADSL Netis modem off. The Linksys router does most of the routing to static NIC devices and dhcp wireless devices. I have never configured a cable modem but my sense is from the forum comments that most users do not use bridge mode when setting up a OpenBSD pf firewall.

jggimi, what's the trick behind "superDMZ"? I hope my DMZ doesn't just forward packets from ext_ip to int_ip without filtering them. This would still require nat or static routing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- shep, ok, but what additional value does this solution have? ADSL 1--> Router 2--> stuff 1. first dhcp, now static 2. static for wire, dhcp for wireless if you have one subnet imho - zero. You could as well address your ADSL 192.168.2.1, your router 192.168.2.2 and the rest as you wish (dhcp or static). If you have two subnets - you would still need either NAT or static routing so also zero. It seems like a very normal solution to me and this is not quite the answer to my question But I might not understood something correctly or lacking knowledge. If so, please correct me.

Put pf firewall between ADSL1 and Router2 particularly if ADSL1 and Router 2 are not OpenBSD friendly. |
