Re: [PLUG] wrt54g driving me nuts.
|
I have done all this a thousand times but I am not clear on what you are
saying. You say take it off the network and connect it using a crossover
to a laptop. What am I connecting to? LAN or WAN? It is my understanding
that by default it only serves it's web page on the LAN ports. Why would I
use a crossover cable to connect to LAN pots? The reset (default) mode of
the box is gateway and auto dhcp.
I have hard reset the box many times and tried to come in on the LAN to
the boxes http to no avail. I can connect no problem to it via wireless.
I think I should take this box back. It turns out it is rev2 and has Jan
04 firmware. It looks like there have been a bunch of updates since then.
If I buy another one I will be more aware of that.
As an example the CD docs talk about being able to turn off NAT. There is
no selection for that in the actual SW. I do think I need to turn off NAT
when I am using it as a downstream access point. I already have a gateway
front-end box with NAT.
