Hi Guys,
I have a pretty good grasp of basic networking. I have a Cisco RV042G and was convinced to upgrade to the Zyxel to tighten up my network.
I got the Zyxel, did some reading, created my security policies, setup my wan and DHCP, plugged it in and got nothing. I was unable to ping the WAN addresses configured to the USG. I was unable to Ping my WAN addresses from outside my network.
I went round and round, and finally gave up. Did a complete reset. I went basic and installed the USG40 between my Cisco and a computer. The USG40 got an IP from the RV042G and passed internet traffic.
The next step was I configured the LAN1 to a different IP (From 192.168... to a 10.10) - And I still have internet connectivity.
So I moved the USG40 back infront of the RV042G. So it goes from Cable Modem, to USG 40, to single computer. The only change I made was to set the WAN port to my static IP. I have 5 static IP's at my house.
I tried with both the gateway IP set and blank. But once I configure the static IP I can no longer access the internet.
I also cannot ping the WAN, the gateway, my DNS servers. And my public IP's cannot be pinged from another location.
I am sure this is very basic mistake I am missing of some setting. But I would really appreciate some help in getting me pointed in the right direction.
I don't know if this makes any difference but the status LED on the USG40 are flashing orange for WAN and LAN1. But on the web status page the LED are lit up green.
Thanks in advance.
Dave B
