Congradulations for a well run forum process and a successfully completed project.

Maybe the Mods would consider this for a sticky in hardware, Linux or even the Lounge as an example of what can be accomplished on this forum when the accepted process is followed. Maybe as good howto also if a more explicit title was used?

We could do that. Stuck for now.

Makes you wonder whether he was more excited about the barn or the girlfriend.

Well, you've heard of 'roll in the hay,' right?

Glad you got it working!!

PS - A packet analyzer might have helped you find some of these issues more quickly. (Ethereal for example.) You watch the DHCP requests, DNS lookup stuff and away you go!

Why don't you just read through the thread instead? You'd learn more from seeing what the mistakes were so you won't repeat them.

We shouldn't change the title one bit.. It was suggested by one of the mods, who shall remain nameless so as not to reveal his secret daily enjoyment of gangsta-rap. And I have the logs to prove it...

(OK Thorn, your secret is safe now..)

Thanks again, TEAM, for all of the good help.

Your input was much needed, appreciated and well received.

It is 8:00 AM here and I have to meet with a client at 8:30 about a system build that I just got the go-ahead on. I should be back at my office by noon. I will start the detailed write up when I return. (Couldn't do it last night... we were "celebrating"...)

Something for all NEWBIE POSTERS TO REMEMBER! The folks on this board have been a great deal of help and A DONATION TO NETSTUMBLER WILL DEFINATELY BE SENT! After all, that's what keeps good forums alive and here for us when we need them. I also will send a donation to Brainslayer at DD-WRT. He spent a ton of time developing and de-bugging the DD-WRT firmware and gives it away in the true spirit of Open-Source. (unlike a competing supplier!)

Again, my sincere thanks to all.

Look for me to post the write-up later today.

You, your sister and the horses?

Sweet baby Moses, I wouldn't like to see a picture of that!

Only kidding, well done on getting it working!

Just got an emergency call from a client. Haven't finished the write up yet. Will work on it more when I get back home.

Did get a bit of a scare when I booted everything up a while ago. I couldn't access WRT54GS #1. We had thunderstorms last night and I had not plugged its PS into the UPS (Stupid Me!). We did have some AC surges and a short outage. I couldn't even ping the WRT. I tried all of the normal reset stuff and was afraid that a power surge may have bricked it.

This is what I did that finally got me "back in touch" with the box.

Reset button for 30 seconds plus.
Wait 5 minutes.
Reset NIC card on control computer #1 to:
10 MB/sec
Half Duplex
192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1 (gateway)
(CAT-5 cable plugged from NIC card into LAN port of the WRT)

I was then able to ping the WRT again and access the DD-WRT 23 setup with the browser (Whew!) I didn't have to reload the firmware or anything like that.

If someone has a similar issue with a WRT54G or GS, I would recommend this procedure if all of the usual plug-unplug, reset stuff doesn't work after the first few times. It got me back up without having to open the thing up, short pins on the flash chip or any of the stuff that I was dreading.

Cheers
