My Compliments for this very helpfull Tutorial!!

But i have 2 strange things.

First i had a problem with Cron

The problem is: after a reboot, i have start cron myself.
i did many times, the CRON part, but everytime, after reboot, and pressing ps axf. He didn't show it:

PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND

  115 ?        S      0:00 [kjournald]

after each reboot, i start it manual by typing cron

so i could go on with the tutorial.

But at Part 9. TRANSMISSION (The torrent Client)

i have a prolbem at the end. the problem is by typing:
192.168.1.150:8008/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi

i get the message:

Kan geen verbinding maken     

Firefox kan geen verbinding maken met de server op 192.168.1.150:8008.

*   Misschien is de website tijdelijk niet beschikbaar of overbelast. Probeer over  enkele ogenblikken opnieuw.

*  Controleer uw netwerkverbinding indien u geen enkele pagina kunt laden.

*  Verzeker u ervan dat Firefox toegang heeft tot het web als uw 
     computer of netwerk beveiligd is door een firewall of proxyserver.

that's dutch for:

Cannot make connection
Firecox cannot connect the server on 192.168.1.150:8008


Can you help me with these 2 problems?

If your wive can bring up the patience again

I hope,

greetings Emiel

wengi

yes Im sure. there are 3 partitions exactly. ntfs is working under win xp, there is no bad sectors on it.

@Arbadelli

First of all: It seems that i missed your post. Sorry for the late reply.

Your problem ist rc.unslung!! The script is not executed.

- cron is not working
- syslog is not logging to /opt/var...
- busybox httpd is not running with transmission webinterface.

Check your post-boot if rc.unslung is started.
Check the content of rc.unslung
Make sur rc.unslung is executable

There is something wrong with your partition table.
I recommend deleting the partitions and recreate them directly on the asus.

[Arbadelli]

WENGI VIELEN DANK!!

Thanks for your answer!
No problem it was a day later, it gives me more time to think about it

Now i have solved the problem down here ( How? use in the webinterface a password, if you leave it blank, then it doesn't work!)

Now, i have a little problem with 10. SAMBA2

i have done that one, and when i use ps axf everything is running well, but when i put in 192.168.1.150:901 ( in web ). He cannot make connection:

401 Bad Authorization
username or password incorrect

I think i have problems with logging in. or the IP or your following text:

You should cutomize the IP settings as you need them and exchange "user = root" with admin -> "user = admin".

This is my script:

service swat
{
        port    = 901
        socket_type     = stream
        wait    = no
        only_from = localhost 192.168.1.1/24
        user    = admin
        server  = /opt/sbin/swat
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable =  No
}
~ 

My homenetwork ( maybe interesting to know )

the modemcable goes to my Linksys WRT54G

i connected 2 pc's with this one, and one UTP cable is going to 1 LAN port of my Asus WL500gp. In another LAN port i plugged another UTP for one pc ( so, i can see if the router has got internet yes or no )

the WRT54G ip is 192.168.1.1
the WL500GP ip is 192.168.1.150

My username to get with web or putty in is admin
( i changed the password, as you said in your tut)

so, how does my vi /opt/etc/xinetd.d/swat has to look like?

I tried many things, but i think not the good one.

thanks for your help offcourse

[Arbadelli]

Hello, everyone..

Here i am back again

i have got the next problem:
I've got 2 torrents in my Transmiossion.cgi, they are waiting now for about 1 hour, but the won't download. They are in the Active menu.

Progress: 0.00 %, 0 peers, dl from 0 (0.00 KB/s), ul to 0 (0.00 KB/s) Start: 01 Jan 01:01 End: 01 Jan 01:02 uploaded: 0.0 MB

How can i fix this problem, i think this is my last problem with Transmission, So i hope it's the last one, i am close to the end!

Thanks for helping and solving my last problem

EDIT:

i get the following information:

an 1 01:05:45 transmissiond[362]: Transmission daemon 1.01+ (4684) started - http://transmission.m0k.org/ at port 65534

Jan 1 01:10:46 transmissiond[362]: Previous message repeated 3 times

and one extra question,

how can i put the right time in the router?

thanks for helping

[wengi]

Hi,

it is always a good idea to test transmission with a 100% working torrent file.
E.g. use OpenOffice as torrent: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html

If this does not work you will have to check if the port is opened and reachable.

For time adjustment: Use Webinterface or ntpclient in shell.

wengi

[Arbadelli]

EVERYTHING IS WORKING NOW!!!


Thanks a lot, i had one problem because i had 2 routers, and a modem.

I put the wrong default gateway in my Asus,
I told ( with that gateway ) he had to go the modem. but he had to go to the wrt54g router, because there was the port forwarding.

But anyway

Many thanks..

(shy) do you have also made a Tutorial for a webserver with php and mysql on my router??

So i can put here a online DVD Sofware on it ( http://vcddb.konni.com/

with this software i can make my own DVD Librarie See the link for information

Very thanks for helping

[wengi]

Hi,

no, i have no howto for php/mysql. But there are some postings in the forum about this.
Just to have it mentioned: An installation of apache / php / mysql will REALLY slow down you asus. And i mean slow!

But as i read, it can work.
Just give it a try.

[Arbadelli]

Hi,

But as i read, it can work.
Just give it a try.

wengi

Ok, Thanks for looking around!

But can i go with the different tutorials? or can i get problems with the Transmission tutorial?

I also looked at http://www.macsat.com/macsat/content/category/3/13/29/

and can i go on with this tut or can i get problems?

thanks for the answer again.

Greetings Arbadelli

[wengi]

Hi,

you can use any Tut you want.
Only one important thing: You allready have the "better ipkg" that is mentioned by macsat (http://www.macsat.com/macsat/content/view/73/29/).

You can directly start with " ipkg install mysql"

If you are going to change the username from "admin" to "root" there is one more thing:
You will also have to change your samba config to use "root" as guest account.

Have fun.

Hi there!

At the Step 2 (the ping commands) I can see that I don't have internet access on my asus. :'o(
After I connected with telnet, when I do ping www.google.com I have "UNKNOWN HOST"
and when I put the IP adress of the google server, I have "NETWORK UNREACHABLE"

The bizarre thing is that the computers connected to the Asus receive an IP adress and have access to the Internet without any problem...

I have no idea what and where I should look to find a solution. Anybody can help me in telling me where I should investigate?

Thanks!

PS: I use the firmware 1.9.2.7-8 and I don't use the WAN port. I use the LAN only.

[none]

Me again...

I did the ROUTE command and a friend told me that the Gateway was missing... so I did the following command:
route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.1 dev br0

and then I could access internet from my asus box...
and do a ping on an ip of an internet website.

but each time I restart the asus, it looses the information

1. Why do I have to put the gateway by hand? Is there a filed I missed in the web interface`?

2. If I cannot use the webinterface... is there any config where I can save that new route table?

Thanks a lot for your help!

[wengi]

Hi,

in -8 and later firmwares you have to set the default gateway in the webinterface.
IP Config -> LAN -> default gateway
This will do the job

wengi

Edit: I changed the text in the HowTo to make this more clear.
