    Okay I'm trying to solve a router issue. I am connected to another router using wireless client bridge mode on the Linksys to a Verizon Fios Actiontek. I am trying to get dyndns.org to point to my Linux server which is connected to the Linksys. So basically:


    INTERNET -> Router 1-> (Wireless to Client Bridge) Router 2 -> Linux Server

    I can get the internet through Router 2 by setting static IP on linux as 192.168.1.145 and setting ip of router 2 to 192.168.1.50, subnet to 255.255.255.0, gateway to 192.168.1.1 (router 1) and DNS to 192.168.1.1 (router 1).

    I have tried port forwarding from router 1 to router 2 all 80 traffic, but I seem to hit router 2's admin GUI instead of the linux server. I added port 80 to port forwarding on the second router and nothing. Keeps going to router 2's router setup page.

    Any ideas?

    Well I have the router 2 setup to ip of: 192.168.2.1 however now I cannot connect to router number 2 BUT somehow... i can conntect to my linux webserver. Very weird... my router is connecting to the first router as 192.168.1.50 and when I enter that ip address it forwards me to the webserver:80. I did turn off web GUI access from the router, however my server is directly ran off of router 2 and I can't get to the admin config page for it anymore.

    Nevermind, how stupid of me. Since my router 2 192.168.1.50 is within router 1's subnet, all I had to do was forward from router 1 to the linux server which is still under the same subnet at 192.168.1.150. I'm an idiot :p

    So basically: Internet -> Router 1
    192.168.1.1) -> Router 2(192.168.1.50) -> Webserver(192.168.1.160) is actually Internet-> Router 1(192.168.1.1) -> Webserver(192.168.1.150) (connected to Router 2(192.168.1.1))
