[HowTo] Get a HeadStart on a WL-500gP

[holla]

Holla,

I've found the issue why your samba wouldn't work.

As I noticed in the print-screen you posted, I saw you've changed your ip to 192.168.2.1, while samba grants only permissions to clients on the 192.168.1.x range.

Have a look at the following post. (taken from WENGI's excellent tutorial)

Step 10b: Samba
(editable with swat, or directly in the config file)
Globals -> Hosts allow has 192.168.1.

Having placed your asus in the 192.168.2.x range, and assuming that your clients are also in that range this is the reason why your samba shares weren't accessible on you clients.

Precisely.. I use 192.168.2.1 coz I have my other routers and computers assigned with that ip.

After I installed everything on 192.168.1.1 everything went smooth. I could even access port 901 to the samba.

Now I can write on the hdd (my 8gb pen drive) on the router. but can't access 901.. but i see no problem with that

ABiout ados I just have to complain about 1thing. I have a 1Mb dsl connection and it wont download at 100kb/s from rapidshare servers... The best speed I saw was 80kb

regards and thanks for ur precious help again
