Classical Routing - Assistance needed
I am trying to get routing mode (Note: not NAT mode) working through my Netgear Firewall. It's an FVS336G v2. I have the following CIDR Block and IP Address from my ISP - COX. My block is as follo...
What you're seeing is "evidence" that your system knows how to reach the outside world, the ping request is being sent from the system, to the FVS336G, which is passing it on to the next hop device, but if the next hop (in this case the cox gateway at 57.224.xxx.97) does not have a route back to your network (68.xxx.xxx.64) it will be unable to send the response back.
The fact that you cannot ping the 57.224.xxx.97 device from within your network is the tip off - if you were not seeing that request leaving your network, the next step would have been to add a static route - in fact, it would probably wouldn't hurt to try it.
Destination ip - 0.0.0.0
Subnet mask - 0.0.0.0
Interface - Wan1 or 2 as required
Gateway - 57.224.xxx.97
Metric - 1
