New oleg firmware version

[theMIROn]

it seems not to matter if dnsmasq is running or not, it just has the same result on nslookup!

you will not be able to resolve domains if dnsmasq isn't running.
i suppose you have dns servers set up manually and differ from router lan ip
check it, please

well yes, that was my idea as well!
but it seems that nslookup responds the same way when dnsmasq (self compiled one and the one from the fw) is running or isn't running at all.
it looks up the ip-adresses, just very slowly

this is not a dnsmasq problem I think

[wpte]

Hey, I updated to r566
since I saw this update:

dnsmasq 2.50test10 (speedup of DNS queries)

it doesn't make any difference however

dnsmasq in firmware:

dnsmasq: started, version 2.50test10 cachesize 150
dnsmasq: compile time options: no-IPv6 GNU-getopt no-RTC no-DBus no-I18N DHCP no-scripts no-TFTP
dnsmasq-dhcp: DHCP, IP range 192.168.2.2 -- 192.168.2.254, lease time 1d
dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses
dnsmasq: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53

my native compiled version:

dnsmasq: started, version 2.50 cachesize 150
dnsmasq: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-DBus no-I18N DHCP TFTP
dnsmasq-dhcp: DHCP, IP range 192.168.2.2 -- 192.168.2.254, lease time 1d
dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses
dnsmasq: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53

contents of /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.1 wpte.kicks-ass.net my.router my.WL500W

and as usual, it doesn't matter for nslookup whether dnsmasq is running or not, it always does exactly the same thing.
dnsmasq is launched at startup properly and shows up in the processlist.


EDIT:
It seems when I edit /etc/resolv.conf to use opendns servers instead of my modems 192.168.1.1 the lookup works very fast...

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

nslookup google.com
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address 1: 208.67.222.222 resolver1.opendns.com

Name: google.com
Address 1: 74.125.45.100 yx-in-f100.google.com
Address 2: 74.125.67.100 gw-in-f100.google.com
Address 3: 74.125.127.100 pz-in-f100.google.com

even when I set the nslookup to use the modems server:

nslookup google.com 192.168.1.1
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address 1: 192.168.1.1

Name: google.com
Address 1: 74.125.67.100 gw-in-f100.google.com
Address 2: 74.125.127.100 pz-in-f100.google.com
Address 3: 74.125.45.100 yx-in-f100.google.com

that is kinda weird...
now I guess I should be calling my ISP for some explenations?
nslookup on xp/vista/7 seem to work good with 192.168.1.1 however... still a bit weird:

C:\>nslookup google.com
Server: openrg.home
Address: 192.168.1.1

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Name: google.com
Address: 74.125.45.100

I'll be using the opendns servers I guess

Can you resetup your modem into the bridge mode and use pppoe connection type? Smth's wrong with modem's dns server/resolver.
And/or you can always specify ISP's dns servers inside router to not to depend from modem's one.

EDIT: to add any additional dns servers you should create /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf with

server=208.67.222.222
server=208.67.220.220

that'smy config for opendns 'coz my IPS have probs sometimes with resolving

Yeh well, I created the configuration in the web interface, since you can manually specify what servers to use

and that with the modem is not going to work... it only supports DHCP LAN, and does not have a wireless extention card at the moment.
I have a "LiveBox" from sagem, and it's known to fail.


next year they should come with optic fiber, the main line is only 50meter away from me, laying there for almoast 3 years... but when I get it I'll be having a new modem as well as a new ISP, since this one just doesn't care if your modem breaks down

the current configuration is just standart, latest firmware (happens automatically, and no way to go back), and everything is portforwarded to my wl-500w

So, that means your prob with dns was solved I hope?

yeh well, it works so far
I still find it odd that some programs suffered from it, and others didnt

Just flashed this firmware, but now the router doesn't mount my harddisks anymore.

Also /dev/disks isn't present.

All disks are behind a usb2.0 hub. The strange thing is that the hub gets detected twice

Real wl-500gx (wl-500g deluxe) has been discontinued years ago. You are victim of ASUS marketing office, see Issue 18

[maurer]

SH as in second - hand

the issue remains - i cannot login

turn touter into firmware restoration mode (power on with reset button pressed util powerl led will flash), then use tftp.exe to put firmware again
