Sep 18 03:15:32 <DrJ> hey
Sep 18 03:15:39 <DrJ> you still there arthur92710?
Sep 18 03:15:42 <DogBoy> can't you run some other firmware on there arthur92710 
Sep 18 03:15:46 <DogBoy> like tomato
Sep 18 03:16:05 <DrJ> arthur92710: maybe you can consider seeing if you can't use ranges to group some of them together to free up some room
Sep 18 03:16:14 <DrJ> otherwise, you should consider like DogBoy said
Sep 18 03:16:16 <DrJ> new firmware
Sep 18 03:16:20 <DrJ> lik dd-wrt
Sep 18 03:16:37 <DogBoy> I got tomato on mine
Sep 18 03:16:52 <DogBoy> but that is good advice too
Sep 18 03:18:03 <DrJ> I'm assuming you can use ranges to group some of them together to solve your issue though
Sep 18 03:18:12 <DrJ> as I can't imagine why you would need so many different ones
Sep 18 03:18:33 <DrJ> I don't have one of those routers anymore, but I seem to remember it had a lot of rows for them
Sep 18 03:18:47 <DogBoy> me either, just as I can't imagine why you would run the stock firmware
Sep 18 03:19:30 <DrJ> well, he never actually said he was using the stock firmware
Sep 18 03:20:01 * DrJ uses a PC as his router
Sep 18 03:20:23 <DrJ> I could never find a consumer electronic router that would not freeze up on me
Sep 18 03:21:35 <DrJ> more than likely though arthur92710
Sep 18 03:22:16 <DrJ> you should possibly just consider DMZ'ing whatever device is using so many ports
Sep 18 03:22:42 <DogBoy> I used different computers as routers
Sep 18 03:22:48 <DogBoy> the last one was a cobalt qube
Sep 18 03:23:04 <DrJ> this computer is just an old PC I bought from walmart 5+ years ago
Sep 18 03:23:05 <DogBoy> I like the linksys, it seems to perform better
Sep 18 03:23:27 <DrJ> that was collecting dust until I decided to make it the router
Sep 18 03:24:49 <DogBoy> yea well
Sep 18 03:24:59 <DogBoy> they're collecting dust now
Sep 18 03:25:08 <DogBoy> I shitcanned the older one
Sep 18 03:26:28 <DogBoy> the only thing I miss is not having a dmz
Sep 18 03:48:27 <DogBoy> see there, that wouldn't happen if he were using tomato
Sep 18 03:48:32 <DogBoy> lol
Sep 18 03:52:40 <DrJ> :)
Sep 18 05:21:35 <AlexAnteMachina> good morning!
Sep 18 05:22:52 <AlexAnteMachina> one awake?
Sep 18 05:23:48 <AlexAnteMachina> I'm pretty new to this
Sep 18 05:24:31 <DogBoy> new to what
Sep 18 05:24:34 <AlexAnteMachina> I just flashed and unslung my nslu2
Sep 18 05:24:43 <AlexAnteMachina> 5 minutes ago.
Sep 18 05:24:49 <AlexAnteMachina> THAT kind of new
Sep 18 05:26:18 <AlexAnteMachina> the weird thing is I cant access Administration panel.
Sep 18 05:27:03 <AlexAnteMachina> It's asking for password and user which I set myselfe just some min. ago. But for some reason it doesnt accept it.
Sep 18 05:27:46 <AlexAnteMachina> I'm sure about the Password, but unsure about the Admin's name.
Sep 18 05:27:58 <AlexAnteMachina> I thought it was root
Sep 18 05:28:19 <DogBoy> admin isn't it
Sep 18 05:28:24 <DogBoy> admin and admin
Sep 18 05:29:20 <AlexAnteMachina> that's the default stuff.
Sep 18 05:29:48 <DogBoy> what other answer could you get in here
Sep 18 05:30:00 <DogBoy> my crystal ball is at work
Sep 18 05:31:34 <AlexAnteMachina> lol
Sep 18 05:31:46 <AlexAnteMachina> think I got it
Sep 18 05:31:50 <AlexAnteMachina> ;)
Sep 18 05:32:02 <DogBoy> my crystal ball?
Sep 18 05:32:13 <AlexAnteMachina> I was using a password exceeding 8 characters
Sep 18 05:32:26 <DogBoy> so desu ka
Sep 18 05:33:38 <AlexAnteMachina> DogBoy, ???
Sep 18 05:37:35 <AlexAnteMachina> Crap! Even with shortened PW it wont work
Sep 18 05:37:49 <AlexAnteMachina> Any suggestions?
Sep 18 05:38:24 <DogBoy> any suggestion about what kind of suggestion you're looking for?
Sep 18 05:39:42 <AlexAnteMachina> about why it won't le tme login?
Sep 18 05:40:37 <DogBoy> <AlexAnteMachina> I just flashed and unslung my nslu2
Sep 18 05:40:37 <DogBoy> <AlexAnteMachina> 5 minutes ago.
Sep 18 05:41:46 <DogBoy> you might focus on the part where it was working and then suddenly it was not
Sep 18 05:42:36 <AlexAnteMachina> there is no such part
Sep 18 05:42:57 <AlexAnteMachina> I finished flashing and tried using webinterface
Sep 18 05:43:56 <DogBoy> you're contradicting yourself
Sep 18 05:44:09 <AlexAnteMachina> flashing worked well
Sep 18 05:44:20 <AlexAnteMachina> nslu rebooted.
Sep 18 05:44:26 <AlexAnteMachina> all fine
Sep 18 05:44:45 <AlexAnteMachina> webinterface working, too
Sep 18 05:45:00 <AlexAnteMachina> but it won't give me root access
Sep 18 05:45:15 <DogBoy> root access?
Sep 18 05:45:23 <AlexAnteMachina> yes
Sep 18 05:45:29 <DogBoy> what do you mean
Sep 18 05:46:19 <AlexAnteMachina> When clicking the "Administraion" Button it's asking for user and password
Sep 18 05:47:04 <DogBoy> and
Sep 18 05:47:22 <AlexAnteMachina> and this is where the problem is
Sep 18 05:48:05 <DogBoy> you could be more verbose about it
Sep 18 05:48:38 <AlexAnteMachina> I would if I knew what else to tell
Sep 18 05:49:26 <DogBoy> you say you changed the password
Sep 18 05:49:33 <AlexAnteMachina> yes.
Sep 18 05:49:35 <DogBoy> and that you can't login
Sep 18 05:49:41 <AlexAnteMachina> exactly
Sep 18 05:49:44 <DogBoy> but you're not sure what the username was
Sep 18 05:49:48 <mwester> Use the "admin" user ID and the password that you set originally for that admin ID -- that's the Linksys admin ID, not the Linux username or root password.
Sep 18 05:50:49 <AlexAnteMachina> well, okay... I flashed the device by using the webinterface.
Sep 18 05:50:57 <mwester> Right.
Sep 18 05:51:09 <AlexAnteMachina> When that was finished I opend a telnetsession
Sep 18 05:51:09 <mwester> So you got into the web interface in the Linksys firmware using the admin account.
Sep 18 05:51:16 <AlexAnteMachina> yes
Sep 18 05:51:17 <mwester> Use that same password
Sep 18 05:51:21 <mwester> Why would it be different?
Sep 18 05:56:08 <AlexAnteMachina> I pasted it here http://pastie.org/274772
Sep 18 05:57:34 <mwester> Yep, that's a normal unsling operation.
Sep 18 05:57:51 <mwester> All looks well; I presume it rebooted and it's up and running then?
Sep 18 05:58:53 <AlexAnteMachina> yes, it is
Sep 18 06:00:07 <AlexAnteMachina> but when I'm clicking the "Administration" Button of the Webinterface it's asking for user and password. But for some reason it won't accept my login.
Sep 18 06:00:22 <mwester> Just as it always did, right?
Sep 18 06:00:35 <mwester> Unslung changes nothing there.
Sep 18 06:01:18 <AlexAnteMachina> but defaul-login and password is "admin", isn't it?
Sep 18 06:01:19 <mwester> Use the same id (admin) and password you always use for that interface --either the admin password you set from the web gui, or if you didn't set it, then it's still the Linksys default password.
Sep 18 06:01:37 <mwester> The password survives firmware flashes.
Sep 18 06:01:49 <mwester> It'll be whatever it was before you flashed unslung.
Sep 18 06:02:33 <AlexAnteMachina> I havent changed it before flashing. So it should still be the default one
Sep 18 06:03:50 <mwester> Yep.
Sep 18 06:04:29 <AlexAnteMachina> and as far as I know the default PW and root-user is "admin"
Sep 18 06:06:39 <mwester> Yes, the default is "admin" and "admin" 
Sep 18 06:07:35 <AlexAnteMachina> but it is not accepting it
Sep 18 06:08:07 <DogBoy> had you changed it before
Sep 18 06:08:25 <AlexAnteMachina> I never changed it
Sep 18 06:08:55 <DogBoy> <AlexAnteMachina> It's asking for password and user which I set myselfe just some min. ago. But for some reason it doesnt accept it.
Sep 18 06:09:11 <DogBoy> I'm confused
Sep 18 06:09:20 <AlexAnteMachina> DogBoy, you didn't read my paste, did you?
Sep 18 06:09:48 <AlexAnteMachina> I set a password during the telnetsession.
Sep 18 06:10:01 <mwester> Ok, I'm confused here too.  You had a pastebin up -- that shows that you were able to telnet into the device, right?  In order to telnet into the device, you had to use a browser to login to the Admin page to enable telnet, right?
Sep 18 06:10:28 <mwester> The password you set in that telnet session has nothing at all to do with the web interface admin pages.
Sep 18 06:10:51 <AlexAnteMachina> okay.
Sep 18 06:11:06 <DogBoy> you don't need to login as admin to use the telnet thing
Sep 18 06:11:39 <mwester> DogBoy:  I'll have to test that; it was surely designed so that you must login to enable telnet.
Sep 18 06:13:12 <DogBoy> yea I could be wrong about that
Sep 18 06:14:32 <DogBoy> I don't see any way to logout 
Sep 18 06:15:11 <AlexAnteMachina> maybe it's a problem with the beta?
Sep 18 06:15:22 <mwester> No.
Sep 18 06:15:29 <AlexAnteMachina> :(
Sep 18 06:15:44 <AlexAnteMachina> but what else could cause that?
Sep 18 06:15:52 <mwester> I'm still not clear on what you are doing.
Sep 18 06:15:57 <DogBoy> heh
Sep 18 06:16:00 <mwester> Let's step back.
Sep 18 06:16:02 <DogBoy> that's what I was saying
Sep 18 06:16:13 <mwester> give me answers to the following statements/questions. ok?
Sep 18 06:16:18 <AlexAnteMachina> okay
Sep 18 06:16:44 <mwester> You flashed the firmware to the NSLU2 using the admin interface -- were you prompted for the admin login?
Sep 18 06:16:57 <AlexAnteMachina> yes
Sep 18 06:17:24 <mwester> After flashing, it restarted, and you used your web browser to go back to the admin interface, right?
Sep 18 06:17:31 <AlexAnteMachina> yes
Sep 18 06:17:39 <mwester> Did it prompt you for a password?
Sep 18 06:17:43 <AlexAnteMachina> yes
Sep 18 06:18:08 <mwester> Then you enabled telnet, and logged in via telnet, and did the Unsling operation.
Sep 18 06:18:35 <AlexAnteMachina> ups... we need to go back 2 steps.
Sep 18 06:18:47 <mwester> ok
Sep 18 06:21:23 <AlexAnteMachina> right after flashing I enabled telnet, yes. Of course the system asked for a password, yes. When having Telnet enabled I logged in via telnet and I did the unsling operation.
Sep 18 06:23:23 <mwester> Ok, then you rebooted again.  Now it has booted up, you can see the web pages, but you get errors from your web browser when you try to login to the admin management pages?
Sep 18 06:24:23 <AlexAnteMachina> I do not get errors. It just does not accept the user/password.
Sep 18 06:25:26 <mwester> Ok, but it pops the dialog box for "Authentication required" back up
Sep 18 06:25:38 <AlexAnteMachina> yes
Sep 18 06:26:15 <mwester> ok.  and admin/admin is not working for you?
Sep 18 06:27:06 <AlexAnteMachina> Right. admin/admin is not working.
Sep 18 06:27:34 <mwester> And that was working for you earlier?
Sep 18 06:27:59 <AlexAnteMachina> Yes it was working.
Sep 18 06:29:05 <mwester> Ok, try exiting all instances of your web browswer; sometimes they get confused.
Sep 18 06:29:19 <AlexAnteMachina> okay.
Sep 18 06:29:23 <mwester> You have to close all instances, not just the one you're using.
Sep 18 06:29:34 <AlexAnteMachina> of course
Sep 18 06:29:39 <mwester> (Firefox does that most often, it seems)
Sep 18 06:29:53 <DogBoy> it caches a lot
Sep 18 06:30:29 <AlexAnteMachina> okay. all closed
Sep 18 06:31:03 <AlexAnteMachina> may I give it a new try now?
Sep 18 06:31:09 <mwester> yep
Sep 18 06:31:48 <AlexAnteMachina> Webinterface works
Sep 18 06:32:03 <AlexAnteMachina> but it is not accepting admin/admin
Sep 18 06:35:01 <mwester> Well, clearly the system is working, you'll have to keep trying in order to figure out what's going on there.  Try it without the disk or flash drive plugged in as well, and you may want to try re-flashing and starting over fresh again.  You might also try using the Linksys reset to factory defaults procedure to see if that sets things back.
Sep 18 06:35:17 <mwester> I need to get some sleep, I need to go to work in a few hours.  Good luck!
Sep 18 06:35:51 <DogBoy> nite
Sep 18 06:36:03 <AlexAnteMachina> okay. thank you very much folks!
Sep 19 01:18:05 <cubber> I just finished setting up unslung on my NSLU2, I am looking to set it up as an nfs server.  I searched the wiki but could not find a good guide on how to do it.  Can someone point me in the right direction?
