LAN Host name

Hi m8s.

First of all thank you Oleg for the firmware work.
I am asigning a host name to the router (LAN) "router" but I still cannot use "ping router" succesfully, "ping my.router" still works.

What can be the problem here?

Thanks.

So, when I connect my printer, the kernel module says ooops :|

The idea is what printer driver (modified by ASUS guys) can't parse printer name or something. As for dropbear and printing daemon - probably initialization just hangs at some point due to the oops. Can you please try booting the router without the printer connected and check the running processes?

Done, this is the result:

192.168.74.1 my.router my.WL500g router

Why it isn't working then? Can it be the Asus utility that I have installed? I will uninstall it and try again.

Try pinging like this

ping router.

Please note the dot (.) at the end of "router"

Hi!

I'm the "new Kid" here!
@Oleg: Well Done!!
I use your WL-500g-Firmware 1.7.5.6-2, but since I use, it's not possible to use FTP from the World.
Is this a bug, or a feature (or is it unnown to you)?

Mine works just fine. Probably there is a problem which is already reported by other users. Can you please review the system log? Does it contains strange items, such as kernel oops?

Source package untar problem

Hello All,

which version of tar is necessary to use for source package unpacking. I use RH 9 tar with vzxf option , but it does not works. What is the size of source package in bytes, maybe the problem is wrong download, but my size of downloaded package is over 10.1 MByte

Thanks Pavel

Once you've downloaded source package you jsu need to unpack the sources using

Code:

tar xjf wl500g-1.7.5.6-2.tar.bz2

This will create directory named wl500g-1.7.5.6-2
You then will need to just type 'make' and everything will be built for you. Please be sure to install toolchain (compilers) from the ASUS sources and add them to your PATH.

First I pinged my.router and it worked off course, then I pinged with "ping router." and it worked 1 time, but after that I tried again and it didn't work, and I cannot make it work again.
WTH? Can you please explain me this? Thank you.

Edit: I have changed the host name and checked in the web interface with the command given by Oleg for confirmation, I flushed the dns cache of my unique machine connected, I turned it off and on and nothing worked. I cannot ping by the name given as host.

This is possibly, but I don't recomend this, because usb printer numbers can't be determined in advance. It's plug&play like. To whom who needs this I recommend add this using nvram commands like this
nvram set bootCmdX="/usr/sbin/p910nd -f /dev/usb/lp1 2"
in this case port 9102 will be assigned to the second usb printer.

Is this also be possible if you have 1xUSB Printer and 1xparallel Printer ?

.... copied this from the first post of this thread

Replaced ASUS supplied printing solution with p910nd daemon which implements Raw port printning with Socket API protocol (also known as HP JetDirect)
In order to use new printing facility from Windows you will need to change the port seetings to use "Raw" protocol instead of "LPR" and specify port number for the port. Use 9100 for printer connected to the LPT port or 9101 for USB connection. Please note, it's now possible to use two printers at the same time. The port settings dialog should look like the on the attached image.

Access local network

Hi! Thanks Oleg for the fantastic work! I have a small problem which i thought was not to be resolved. However, with the new firmware, I there might still hope. I noted "Support for specifying the static address for the external interface in PPPoE mode. Useful for management of the external ethernet modem. " in your list of improvements. But how do I get it to work? I am using my router in a LAN:

Code:

|-- Comp 1 |-- Comp 2 inet--LAN(145...)- Asus500g-|-- Comp 3 | | |---Comp 4 |-----PPPOE (172…)-|

I am now unable to access the LAN(home.local) since my router was given the 172... ip adress when using PPPOE. Is it possible to use PPPOE and access the LAN at the same time?? (without switching cables ;)) The LAN is using a DHCP server to supply the 145... ip adress.

edit: I tried "udhcpc -i br0" to enable a dhcp client on br0, but this results in a broken connection and I become unable to reach the router...
