Hello gurus.

I'm on firmware 2.6.0.1 on my B3. Using it in router/server/firewall mode.
Up time was some 45 days since last reboot, when I noticed one of my USB drives had gone unvisible. Well offcourse I did the obvious and restarted everything after what all seemed fine again, except... NO INTERNET!

So I went to the GUI and everything looked fine for WAN IP. Decided to try manual settings instead of service providers DHCP... and still same problem.
Then I tried to change the WAN IP, Netmask, Default GW and DNS to something else, only to notice that I CAN NOT change the Default Gateway! It always falls back to the previous setting (in this case 84.250.232.1), no matter what I do in the GUI.
When I disconnect the WAN cable from the B3 and plug the same into my laptop, I get different addresses for everything except for the DNS.
I logged in with SSH and became su, then I tried to "ifconfig eth0" and then "ifdown eth0" and "ifup eth0", that did not help. Still same addresses for WAN.

Any ideas?

Try

It does not change anything. Same IP and so on... (This might be service provider related too ofcourse)
If I unplug the WAN cable, everything goes to 0.0.0.0 except the DNS.
It's still showing the service providers DNS. I wonder if that is normal?

I need to check the modem.
Pitty I don't have an other bridged modem to try with.

Edit: After modem replacement everything was fine again.
