When I enter a static IP address in the configuration section using the web interface it is not saved. I need to reset the router to default to even see the web interface again.

How can I do this correctly?

Thanks.

Hi

if i was going to change the eth0 ipaddress via the web the first thing i would do is setup on of the virtual interfaces like eth2 with the current address 192.168.1.2

once that is applied logout of the web interface then connect to the new address (.2) then you can modify eth0 without lossing connection once eth0 and dhcp0 have been changed you can reconnect to the route on the new real address and clear the ip address out of eth2

hope that helps

James
