Feb 23 12:17:06 yes but it doesnt see the slug Feb 23 12:17:44 have you set the computer you are running the utility on to the same network as the slug? Feb 23 12:17:57 I think it's 192.168.0.xxx Feb 23 12:18:23 no is it esential? Feb 23 12:18:39 how else would the utility find the slug? Feb 23 12:19:57 192.168.1.77? Feb 23 12:20:23 one sec Feb 23 12:21:13 nope that is the one if the slug had booted fine Feb 23 12:21:37 oh right ok doke Feb 23 12:21:46 192.168.0.1 is the one that the slug should be on during RedBoot Feb 23 12:22:06 so i just need to change my pc IP? Feb 23 12:22:15 so you want your computer to be on 192.168.0.something_other_than_1 Feb 23 12:22:26 right thanks Feb 23 12:22:48 instructions are here - http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot Feb 23 12:22:56 you can print them out.... Feb 23 12:28:29 ... Feb 23 12:30:18 brb Feb 23 12:33:13 hey again Feb 23 12:33:21 hey again Feb 23 12:33:22 hello Feb 23 12:33:41 hey its gorx Feb 23 12:33:50 tried changing my IP Feb 23 12:34:05 and the upgrade util seemed to be scanning the network or something Feb 23 12:34:15 and then it just says 'target access error' Feb 23 12:34:16 that's what it is supposed to do... Feb 23 12:34:28 meaning that it didn't find the slug... Feb 23 12:34:43 what could have caused that? Feb 23 12:34:50 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot Feb 23 12:34:57 print out those instructions Feb 23 12:35:07 and follow them? Feb 23 12:35:21 that's why you're printing them out... ;) Feb 23 12:35:40 do i need to do anything on the router to allow me on my custom IP? Feb 23 12:35:50 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash Feb 23 12:35:58 and print out those too Feb 23 12:36:19 and follow the second set Feb 23 12:36:51 follow all of them? Feb 23 12:37:45 if you *read* the instructions, you should be able to understand what you should do.... Feb 23 12:38:04 the second set is pretty clear Feb 23 12:39:47 your slug is flashing red status led, right? Feb 23 12:41:08 orange Feb 23 12:41:10 at the start Feb 23 12:41:21 for a few seconds Feb 23 12:41:30 what does it end up blinking? Feb 23 12:41:48 it goes green then beeps as if its ok Feb 23 12:41:59 and pinging it doesnt even work Feb 23 12:42:21 sounds like you set it's ip on another network Feb 23 12:42:34 and it's working fine, but you don't know what ip it is on Feb 23 12:42:38 how do I find its network then? Feb 23 12:43:01 were you messing with the ip settings before it stopped responding? Feb 23 12:43:46 no I tried to install cups and it kept complaining about not havong enough space in the flash although my 40gb hdd was connected Feb 23 12:44:46 uh... flash != hdd Feb 23 12:45:13 does it beep about every 8 hours now? Feb 23 12:45:24 yes but i thought if the flash didnt have enough space then the packages would be put on hdd Feb 23 12:45:30 not sure havnt left it on that long Feb 23 12:46:17 thats why i could change my name :-p Feb 23 12:47:00 any ideas now? Feb 23 12:47:23 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/SearchWiki Feb 23 12:47:30 first bookmark that page Feb 23 12:47:40 the wiki is your friend Feb 23 12:48:06 lol you are my friend ;-) Feb 23 12:48:28 but see, I am not always available Feb 23 12:48:31 the wiki is Feb 23 12:48:35 lol kk Feb 23 12:48:57 you got any ideas tho? Feb 23 12:49:42 yeah, telnet into redboot and reflash and reformat and unsling your hd Feb 23 12:50:58 it sounds like the slug is ok, just on an IP that you don't know Feb 23 12:51:27 what about a network sniffer? Feb 23 12:51:40 you have one of those - and know how to use one? Feb 23 12:51:51 try first arp -a on a cmd line Feb 23 12:52:47 it aint there Feb 23 12:53:43 so you have a sniffer and can handle it? Feb 23 12:54:05 no but just asking weather i can sniff my slug out? Feb 23 12:54:28 have a hub or a switch? Feb 23 12:54:42 router Feb 23 12:54:43 he would need managed hub/switch Feb 23 12:54:50 wrt54g Feb 23 12:54:54 that can tell what is attached Feb 23 12:55:06 how? Feb 23 12:55:20 i can only see in the DHCP clients release Feb 23 12:55:33 I don't know if WRT54G can tell what the ips of connections are... Feb 23 12:55:52 54gS* Feb 23 12:57:55 where do you work, byron, btw? Feb 23 12:58:28 Gorx: imho the easiest way is to reflash the slug Feb 23 12:58:36 Gorx: the hard way is.. Feb 23 12:59:03 is what? Feb 23 12:59:13 reflash is easy way, no doubt... Feb 23 12:59:32 with redboot? Feb 23 12:59:40 Gorx: ..get a networksniffer Feb 23 12:59:49 Gorx: get a crossover cable Feb 23 13:00:22 Gorx: put your network card in promiscious mode Feb 23 13:00:31 Gorx: and start the sniffer Feb 23 13:00:33 it's getting harder!!! Feb 23 13:00:36 :) Feb 23 13:00:41 si ;-) Feb 23 13:00:58 what about a ping -b 255.255.255.255 Feb 23 13:01:05 genial Feb 23 13:01:15 to redboot do i need to change my IP I connect the slug directly to my pc? Feb 23 13:01:48 giel: but didn't work on win station Feb 23 13:01:55 giel: :-( Feb 23 13:01:56 redboot ip for slug is ALWAYS 192.168.0.1 Feb 23 13:02:07 yes Feb 23 13:02:23 so to get your pc to talk to that ip it *HAS* to be on same segment Feb 23 13:02:33 ie 192.168.0.something Feb 23 13:02:36 so do i need to change my IP to 192.168.0.XXX if its connected directly to my pc// Feb 23 13:02:51 kk Feb 23 13:02:52 leave it connected to the router Feb 23 13:03:12 change your pc ip to 192.168.0.55 (or something) Feb 23 13:03:14 ill go wireless to keep in conect with you guys Feb 23 13:03:26 follow the telnet into Redboot instructions Feb 23 13:03:42 when you get redboot prompt, type in "upgrade" Feb 23 13:03:54 then fire up the sercomm utility Feb 23 13:04:02 if my router is set to DHCP, then cant i connect to it with a special IP? Feb 23 13:04:49 DHCP just means that your router gives out ip addresses Feb 23 13:05:14 but if your pc is already set to a static ip then it's fine Feb 23 13:05:56 right going in for he kill Feb 23 13:09:30 How do i telnet into the port 9000 as it says bad parameter Feb 23 13:09:37 Gorx. you should probably drop out of the -linux channel Feb 23 13:09:57 so as to not make devs upset Feb 23 13:10:33 all you have to do is close that window DOH!
