Firmware v1.7.5.6 CR5 [Oleg]

[Oleg]

Automatic translation?

[Nibe]

I am going to try to be one can clearer:

With *Firmware* *1.7.5.6*, my *logitech* web cam *Quickcam* *Zoom* does not work:
when I go to the USB Web interface application, Web cam, I *click* on *preview* and I obtained following error message: *can' t connect to sever*
With the *firmware* *1.7.5.6* *CRC5*, I have no more this error message, but I just obtains a grey image

Samba:

I configure the *hostname* in the Web interface in IP CONFIG
Then Telnet my.router

The I type the following commands for automatic run samba in the starting up of the router:
*nvram* set bootCmd0 = " / usr / sbin / nmbd-D "
*nvram* set bootCmd1 = " / usr / sbin / smbd-D "
*nvram* committed
*reboot*

It works perfectly, but when I browse to the resource shared, I have slowing down or losses of connection on the sharing.

yes it's automatic translation..............

How you've configured wl500g? Does it run in AccessPoint or Home Gateway mode?

At this moment I am running in AP mode because my ADSL modem (thompson 510) is also a router.
The WL500g does DHCP and gets a (static) IP from the ADSL modem. In the Modem configuration I also see the hostname I configured in the WL500g. I am able to connect to the WL500g with the hostname via my network. So that seems to be OK. I assumed that the SAMBA would also run in the AP mode, but also tried it in the "Home gateway" mode with the same result, as in no Hostname "WLServer" with share visable on "Workgroup".

I am not new to networking with routers but not very familiar with Linux. I bought the WL500g because of the SAMBA tweak and USB connectivity, so hopefully I will be able to get it running.

At the moment samba requires valid /etc/hosts file, which is not generated in the AP mode. You could manually start /init/rc.dnsmasq before samba to ensure valid /etc/hosts. After that it should work.

OK now it works!
I encountered another small problem before I got it to work:
If I start /init/rc.dnsmasq I receive an error message

~ # /init/rc.dnsmasq
dnsmasq: ISC dhcpd integration not available: 
set HAVE_ISC_READER in src/config.h

but it still creates a Hosts file. But after reboot this file is gone. So I copied it to the USB Flash device and added the bootCmd "cp /mnt/usbfs/hosts /etc" before the Samba commands in nvram. Now after reboot I have the shares available!

Oleg thanks for the help!

[Oleg]

You could also generate /etc/hosts using the boot cmds like this:

bootCmd0="echo 127.0.0.1 localhost locahost.localdomain > /etc/hosts"
bootCmd1="echo 192.168.1.1 wl500g >> /etc/hosts"

replace 192.168.1.1 and wl500g with right IP & name

Hi Oleg, after your hint regarding the set command I got the samba part running very well. but my laser printer (HP 6L) does not work anymore , even after completely reinstalling it with the asus utility

I downgraded to the 1.7.5.6 and voila, printer running again (but no samba , of course, this here is my logfile:

Hello,

How to modify the name of shares in samba.

I would like to replace share and share$ by the other thing

Thank

[sibmad]

I read that upgrading from the original 1.7.5.6 to CR5 would fix my problems with connecting to my usb ftp device from wan, but it still doesn't work. Stealthed from wan even with this one... Anybody got any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Ignore this. Seems to be my ISP messing up...

Hi Oleg,
your previous help was great and my first wl500g is running great, including printer and samba

Now I'm trying to get samba running on a second wl500g , which is running in accesspoint mode while bridging to the first wl500g

Gluing the bits and pieces from this topic together i figured out the following
(AP has fixed ip 192.168.1.2)
nvram set bootCmd0="echo 127.0.0.1 localhost locahost.localdomain > /etc/hosts"
nvram set bootCmd1="echo 192.168.1.2 wl500g >> /etc/hosts"
nvram commit
reboot
Still no share showing up: what do I do wrong ??
It seemed that the share allways pointed to the first wl500g ; so I reflashed that one to the original (non samba) version, just to not get confused

[Oleg]

Have you added smbd & nmbd to bootCmds? If so, have you checked contents of log files /var/log/smb & /var/log/nmb?

[ceesmf]

Everything works fine now , thanks again, now my next step will be to change the host name of both the accesspoints (have a third wl500 in the meantime )so I can distinguish between them, of course i will try it myself first with the help of the various topics here,
hope to get your help again if it works (again) not

[kfaessen]

The problem is that this statistics are cleared during reboot. Current stats are available using ifconfig command.

Is it possible to put the output in a nice status website so we can view all the information easy in the lan (or wan). Eventually with an extra webserver ported on 81?

I'm trying to figure out how asus did it with the status page in asp but I don't have a clue how they get it working .
