Wow - I away from home for a week and came home to find my router in a weird state. No shares were available and Internet was down. I tried to log in to the router but telnet was not available, the...

Thanks K.C.!

I have rebuilt the image using your instructions and attempted to apply the iptables recent module support. I have applied the patches to the kernel and rebuilt it, but am having...

Quick question as I am slightly confused. I have just gone throught he instructions for building the 1.0.4.6 based firmware and am now up to applying K.C.'s modifications.

Thank you - I have not yet attempted to configure a build environment.

New problem. Looks like I need libipt_recent.so to use the iptables "-m recent" option.


iptables v1.2.7a: Couldn't load match 'recent':/usr/lib/iptables/libipt_recent.so: cannot open shared...

I am using PPPoE to connect to my ISP so I assume I would want to use the ppp0 interface in my iptables rule to stop attacks from the internet?

Excellent! I will give it a try tonight.

Good luck! :-)

Any chance you could post your configuration steps for the WL-700gE? I had looked at cups on my Linux server previously, but never got to the point of going through the setup as I decided to by a...

It explains a couple of options.

I have been searching through the admin web GUI and can't seem to find an option for blocking WAN side addresses from accessing the router. I have a couple of IP addresses hammering my vsftpd and...

I assume you mean the command "killall -q -9 watchdog" in the rc.local file? I have already done that, but still seem to encounter the error. I will check into it a bit more. I gave up on the one...

Sorry, typo on my part. It should be 755.

Have you tried executing the operations in the rc.local file separately to determine if they are valid? I am wondering if the if statements are not...

As an alternative to starting a new printer thread, I thought I might resurrect this one.

Last night I hooked up my Epson Stylus-CX4800 to the WL-700g and added it into two of my laptops. It...

I will ask the obvious question: Did you rc.local move it to /shares/MYVOLUME1 and chmod the file to 775?

I guess I should ask the other question: How do you know it is not getting executed? :D

Well, if it was sitting in my lap it would get a little uncomfortable :-)

Looks like I will leave it be then.

Do you know of anyone who has tried to put a laptop HDD in the router? Might cut...

Here is a question...

I left my router on for 24 hours with the HDD spinning. The brick is damn hot. Would attaching a USB fan help out with the heat dissipation?

Without taking the router...

That was it!

Thanks,

Looks like it has been about 5 days since the last post - has anyone's router gone poof yet?

1. I created a new user through the web GUI:

I have been having a lot of fun with this little brick. I had made a decision to buy it, then the supplier couldn't get me one, so I gave up. I found this site and did some reading, so when my...

After tons of pain yesterday I did get this to work. Here are some additional hints:

1. I found that FTP'ing a file onto the router doesn't work as the FTP server seems to reject site commands...

I managed to get telnet running again by editing an existing cgi to invoke it.

Thanks for the help!

I figured that out and changed the permissions to make is executable. Unfortunately, the web server is now returning a totally unusable error message.


I used VIM to create the file, but I will...

Well, I tried the telnet hack described in http://wl500g.info/archive/index.php/t-7313.html but I actually get the contents of the file displayed. Do I need to do anything to get cgi support going?...
