 Will this do what I need? Will I need a real (static) IP?

You don't need a static IP.  But an IP that doesn't 
change very often is a good thing.  Having a static
IP makes it easier for management purposes ... 
for VPN tunnel, ssh, etc.

As for the WRT52GS device:  will it allow you to 
set the net mask on the trusted side to /8?
That is: 255.0.0.0

A lot of the inexpensive home/consumer firewall
routers don't (properly) support the 10.0.0.0/8
network you need on the trusted ports.

I don't believe Linksys made a WRT52GS. You probably have a WRT54GS.

I doubt Hyperwrt supports this, but it's possible.  However, the dd-wrt 
firmware does and that is what almost all of us using Linksys routers on our 
gateways have loaded.  Since you were familiar with Hyperwrt, you may already 
be familiar with dd-wrt.  How you load dd-wrt on a WRT54GS depends on the 
HARDWARE version (check the bottom label).  Click on WRT54GS in the list at the 
top of the http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices page.  You 
only need the mini version to run the ICOM gateway, not the full or any 
other variants.

Thanks to everyone who answered my question.  It sounds like a small 2m beam is 
my best bet to hit my local repeater and check into their Sunday night net on 
port C.  I do have a DV Dongle, but I prefer to come in via RF if at all 
possible.  

I presume that the broadcast to all modules feature of D-Plus is a mode that 
the system admin has to set up.  Is that correct?

It's a built-in, and I don't believe there's any way for the local Gateway
admin to turn that feature on and off.  

 

http://www.opendstar.org/tools/readme.txt

 

If D-Plus is installed (virtually all US systems and most others, but not in
Japan), it should do it.  

 

Easy to test locally with a pair of rigs. or a friend on the phone on a
different module. just to make sure it works before you change your Net
format to utilize it.

 

Some people use it as a way to do a local CQ on all modules also. WY0X
calling CQ on all modules of W0CDS, listening on Port Bravo.  Then someone
listening say, on an ID-1 who doesn't have VHF/UHF, would be able to reply
via many methods. as one useful example.

Ohhh. is it busted right now?  

 

I think I remember seeing that from Robin, maybe. now that you mention it

I last REALLY used it months ago, so. I'll have to go test.

Seems like the last iteration of dplus left the simulcast UR=XXNXX where 
XXNXX is the repeater call and the call is broadcast on all modules 
doesn't work at the present. Try UR=CQCQCQ and RPT1= The repeater call 
and band you are on, and RPT2=The local repeater call and band you want 
to come out on. This works without a gateway. nu5d

It might be a good idea to try with a JA callsign which is not
registered in the US gateway.  I think you entered your callsign into
one of them to get your dongle work.  I am not pretty sure, but unless
jarl, icom or whoever admin made a good progress behind the scene, it
might have something to do.
