i just flashed my wl-hdd to openwrt. it boots and works fine. have set the passwd for root already. now my next tasks would be to mount the harddisk, then samba, http server, etc..

now i was trying to run "ipkg update" but theres an error:

root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg update
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiteru...kages/Packages
wget: downloads.openwrt.org: Unknown host
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiteru...-free/Packages
wget: downloads.openwrt.org: Unknown host
An error ocurred, return value: 2.

root@OpenWrt:~#

i havent done anything yet with my newly installed openwrt except for changing the password. i have no clue on what to do next. ipkg gives an error. do i need to set up something first before running ipkg? btw, prior to flashing openwrt, previous fw was oleg (latest version).

i noticed too that http server is running but the /www directory contains nothing. i created index.html in it and then i can view the page in the browser. so im just wondering, there is no web-based admin page for openwrt? because oleg and asus have one.

many thanks.
