Ipkg Error

[MHz]

I was just following the IPKG tutorial at macsat.com. Everything went well until

ipkg.sh update
Then i'm getting an error:

[admin@Server02 root]$ ipkg.sh update
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 think I'm getting the error because my internet connection is not on the wl500g but on another computer. How to solve the problem?

Please, somebody

wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/ipkg-opt_0.99.163-9_mipsel.ipk
ipkg.sh install ipkg-opt_0.99.163-9_mipsel.ipk
wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/uclibc-opt_0.9.28-12_mipsel.ipk
ipkg.sh install uclibc-opt_0.9.28-12_mipsel.ipk
ipkg update

I get the ERROR: "Unknown Host"

(I think thats because my ADSL line is not connected to the wl500G)

[wengi]

Try to ping any host in internet with name and then with ip.
if ping to ip works and ping to name doesnt you have a dns problem.

If using DHCP: add the ip of your dns server to resolv.conf:
echo "nameserver IP.OF.DNS.SERVER" > /etc/resolv.conf

then it should work.

Is it just me, or is macsat.com down? (need the IPKG tutorial to continue)

MacSat.com is back!

Edited the resolv.conf, but its still the same problem. My internet runs fine on the other computers. DNS and DHCP are working too.

I can't ping from the router to google.nl

Pings from computers to google.nl work fine

[wengi]

my internet connection is not on the wl500g but on another computer

Can you ping your computer?
Can you ping your DNS Server?

What exactly is the setup? firewall? More input

[MHz]

My Firewall has the internet connection, and it has an Network cable attached to the router. The Firewall is DNS and DHCP Server. Users get internet and an IP from the firewall. The firewall is connected to one of the PC ports on the WL500G. NOT ON THE WAN PORT. If I connect it to the WAN port then it goes wrong!

Can't try to ping, because I'm at school right now. When I get home, i'll try. But I can't ping www.google.nl from my router.

[wengi]

Try to ping your firewall. If this works your firewall blocks the traffic.
This may be ok for ICMP (Ping) but not for http (wget).

Thats iT! I think, because I known that the firewall blocks pings. I'll try when I get home. Thanks!

[MHz]

I just turnede off ping protection, but that didn't seem to be the problem. I can ping my local network from the router, but I cant ping www.google.nl

[edit]
I just pinged www.google.nl from the firewall, and that works fine ofcourse.
[/edit]

Whats wrong?

[wengi]

You can ping the firewall. You can NOT ping anything in the internet.
conclusion: it must be the firewall! I have no other idea.
Could you open all Ports/Protocolls for the asus and test if ping/wget is working?

[MHz]

I think that the Asus is still trying to connect to the internet through the WAN port, but because internet isn't connected to the wl500g it gives an ERROR. Should that be the reason?
