Thread: Cannot download ipkg

    Question Cannot download ipkg

    Hello everyone,

    I installed oleg firmware 1.9.2.7-7f pre4 on my wl-500gP

    I started to work down the Howto tutorial, but the downloading of ipkg won't succeed.

    Downloading http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg/Packages ...
    wget: wl500g.dyndns.org: Unknown host
    ipkg_download: ERROR: Failed to retrieve http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg/Packages,
    returning
    ipkg_update: Error downloading http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg/Packages to /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/wl500g

    I tried to ping wl500g.dyndns.org, but that also won't work.
    On macsat, someone advised to add the modem as default gateway, so I tried

    route add default gw 10.0.0.138

    For a moment it seemed to work, I could ping the IP of wl500g.dyndns.org. But still ipkg.sh update failed and I was no longer able to ping outside my lan.

    The wl-500g is behind an Alcatel Speedtouch Pro modem (tweaked Home version), which is my gateway and DHCP server.


    Any ideas?

    /etc/resolv.conf should contain valid nameserver address.
