Re: Browse button appears few moment late - 12 years ago
incidentally I didn't have list dns '192.168.2.1' in my config (i had a bit of trouble installing mybox so made changes as adviced at the time & lost track of what I did or didn't do!) but I did have list dns '8.8.8.8' & removing this was what gave my box speed!

I built one with little or no understanding. I needed help along the way that I got here & I've since with my limited new knowledge changed the home page on my box. There's some good instructions out there, but even then sometimes its confusing if you haven't done one before, allow yourself plenty of time & don't panic if it goes wrong at any stage. its all part ofby suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)

Re: telnet/SSH through putty can't connect? - 12 years ago
I feel a bit of a donut again! I figured out what I'd done wrong. I was entering fail safe to 192.168.1.1 which allowed me to telnet through putty but not ssh. I just realised if I booted up the PB normally I could then SSH through the same IP. Just entering the instructions now. I'll let you know it it works for me!by suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)
Re: telnet/SSH through putty can't connect? - 12 years ago
thanks for your reply Nargren, to be honest I didn't understand any off it! Quotecheck your network for the IPv4 gateway address, this should be the address of the PB. Try SSH to this address. I ran CMD & ran ipconfig & it said my IPv4 address was 169.254.22.74 I then clicked the local area connection & used this in the internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) (use the followiby suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)
Re: telnet/SSH through putty can't connect? - 12 years ago
By the way I have a VPS linux server hosting my websites, I've just noticed (by a third party hosting company) can I somehow drag all the files of the stick there, do the alterations & then drag them back to the stick with the "directly copy files over to the pendrive" you mentioned?by suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)
Re: telnet/SSH through putty can't connect? - 12 years ago
just about to go home (its 5:30pm here) so will dabble a bit in the morning. do I find the IPv4 using the CMD prompt ipconfig? I don't have a linux machine available I'm your stereo typical windows user! Thanks for the reply, gives me something else to go at tomorrow! (it will be my Birthday by the way!)

Re: newbee installer stuck at connection to home router. - 12 years ago
Hi Matthias basically I started the install yesterday. not realising I had to connect the tp-3020 to my router. Up to that point i'd been following Pabell's install guide & everything had gone perfectly to that point. I switched everything off (at work) & went home & did some more reading & established I needed to connect the tp-3020 to the router, so I came in fuby suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)
Re: newbee installer stuck at connection to home router. - 12 years ago
Grrrrrrrrrrrr gone round & round in circles this morning. if only I'd not rebooted my computer! I think the ip address things possibly the problem. I think if I was starting with a fresh tp-3020 I've learnt enough to do the install successfully but since I don't have a new one anymore I'm in a muddle! Leeby suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)

Re: newbee installer stuck at connection to home router. - 12 years ago
thanks Ubuntulover, I can't find a way of opening the 3020. I've tried connecting to it through Putty, using 192.168.1.1 as I did when I was doing all the changes yesterday but I return an error "network error; No route to host" I've read the "have I bricked" posts, please tell me I haven't done that on the first attempt! Leeby suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)
Re: newbee installer stuck at connection to home router. - 12 years ago
how do I set the 3020 to 192.168.1.77? also looking at the control panel for the home router its not showing anything connected to ethport 1 (where I plugged the 3020) but is showing ethports 2 & 3 (computer & ip camera) however all 3 lights are on so show cables plug in (if that makes sence) Leeby suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)
Re: newbee installer stuck at connection to home router. - 12 years ago
I have established that the technicolor tg582n is on IP address 192.168.1.254 as I can open it in a browser & see all its settings ect. But still haven't a clue how to find the MR3020, but am working away in a headless manor!by suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)

newbee installer stuck at connection to home router. - 12 years ago
Hi Folks I've been following all the steps to an install (figured out Putty!) & think everything is as it should be. I've connected my device (MR3020) to my external router. In my connections window on my computer I have my home connection & one called "OpenWrt" showing. I've connected to my home connection but seam to have no way to communicate with the MR302by suzukishoes - PirateBox (General)
