I know I know click and wait!

Hi all, 

Trying to download 'ngircd 20.2' for Linksys router GL from within Setup, when I download I get the following error (any instructions help would benefit greatly!):

Installing ngircd (20.2) to root...

Failed to download ngircd. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?

Let me start with three comments:

1. I know that FCC rules need to be followed when accessing the internet through a mesh node.

2. I have tried to research this problem on this site and other sites, but I have been unable to find a similar scenario with the same problem.

3. I'm a long ways from being a networking expert.

Short description:

I have two WRT54G nodes.  One has been setup as a mesh gateway the other has not.  When hardwire connected to the mesh gateway node I can access the internet; when hardwired to the non-gateway node I can see the gateway node but I cannot access the internet. I have checked the Mesh Gateway checkbox.  I have rebooted the router (multiple times).

Long description:

The twist that I have not been able to find elsewhere is that my internet connection is a Verizon Wireless phone that is USB tethered to a desktop PC using the Android app PDANet.  The desktop is running Windows XP.  The desktop is setup to share the PDANet connection through the PCs NIC.  The NIC is then connected to a switch.  Anything connected to the switch can access the internet just fine.  I even have an Apple Airport connected to the switch which provides a wireless access point that works just fine.

Running ipconfig /all on the desktop shows the following:

Some additional info (because I've seen it asked before).  I cannot ping any IP addresses from the desktop PC.  All requests timeout.  However nslookup (e.g. nslookup google.com) does resolve to IP addresses.

I have changed the firewall settings on the desktop PC to allow all ICMP traffic.

The destop PC Hosts file has not been changed.

I have tried the mesh gateway node with WAN Protocal as both DCHP and disabled.  When it was disabled I could no longer even access the internet when hardwired to the gateway node.

The gateway node shows the "default gateway" to be 192.168.0.1 which seems to be consistent with the fact that the PDANet internet access is shared to the PCs NIC which has the IP address of 192.168.0.1.

The gateway node shows a WAN address of 192.168.0.57 which again seems to be consistent with the PCs NIC address.

I'm not sure what other information would be helpful here.  I'm hoping someone can pull a rabbit out of a hat for me.

I have 2 WRT54G routers (1 v2, other V2.1) that were flashed with firmware 1.0.0 and working fine. I did the upgrade to 3.1.0 and on both routers, I can't DNS to work. I have 5 other versions (GS & GL) upgraded and all work fine. Is there a problem with the "G" that it won't accept the upgrade? Can the router be reset to original firmware without accessing web page setup? I cannot get to setup page because of the DNS  problem.

No response to this query?

I would think this would be one of the hottest topics on this forum, given the investment.

Where can I find original firmware to flash a WRT64GL with the Linksys firmware? I can only find the squashfx.trx upgrade. Do I start with version 1.0.0 or is there a complete version available? Does the 54G 3.10 firmware work with the GL v. 1.1?

Saw your post on BBHN regarding the mesh node map. You actually can embed it if you want to. It's a Google map that to my knowledge is on a free account which means BBHN has agreed to make it available to 100% of the world per Google terms and conditions. If you visit the map page and look at the source you will notice it is an IFRAME that embedded another page that is NOT password protected. Hope this helps you in your quest. Very easy to embed wherever you want. Last I had looked nothing really personal on it !!! (node name, and it's location and all this is freely given by the poster)

Menu (<< on left ) : Software Download.

Then select Linksys

Then any that say "firmware for a non-mesh <MODEL NUMBER>" in the description.

What error do you get?

I just tried changing my name, Time Zone, etc, and it all took.

Uploading a picture is a different story. That has to do with the FTP settings, which currently are disabled due to a security bug that I need to find time to dig down in and fix.

UPDATE: You were talking about the message board profile itself. Yes, I tried to delete my Yahell username and it didnt take. Looking into it right now.

unable to do anythging with updating my user profile 

search ::: JoomlaCode Solution

user unable to change profile :  for solution

i can not paste because of the active header ticker.

i saw no private information. Maybe you can help with the Jomela scrip.  I am unable to do anything with my own profile ::  edit my own image. And may other own settings.  It almost seems "DumPDown" for the user interface. 

Understandable, Maybe we can take some hints from other similar websites   I see no private information when last I checked.  GPL

Because it has people's personal info, and we dont want just any internet surfer to have access to it.
