I made the tftp server my girlfriend. Everything is alright now I think. I had to jump through quite a few hoops in order to get it all working, but I think I have it now. If anyone else has one of these and can't get it working, I can explain what tweaks I had to make to the various HOWTOs in order to get mine working. Thanks again digi, I owe ya one.

Any idea why I can't tftp?

Oh, nice! I was wondering how the hell that was supposed to work. Couldn't imagine ctrl+c was going to effect anything on the router via telnet. I'll get on that ASAP. Thanks for all the help digi. Sorry for bein such a noobtard.

Alright, this is as far as I have gotten. What steps do I take from here? ctrl+c doesn't appear to do anything. ctrl+] just brings me to... telnet> I have not been able to issue 'passwd' since it is an invalid command. The way I have it set up is side by side terminals with a ping running in one, and "telnet 192.168.0.1 9000" waiting in the other. As soon as the ping is returned, I hit enter on the telnet. It supposedly lets me connect, but eventually the pings stop returning and nothing changes on the telnet side.

I believe I have tried 8.09.1 I'll try the above and see if anything changes.

Rather than discuss the same issues in a bunch of different threads, please see this: http://www.hak5.org/forums/index.php?showt...mp;#entry156132 EDIT: To answer your question. Yes, I followed the steps above, but once I flash, my router only stays on for 4 second, on 192.168.0.1. - I have been able to ping it in that time slot, but I have not been able to access it by any other means. Certainly not telneting to port 23.

You successfully flashed a open-mesh OM1P with the Jasager package?? What steps did you take?

So it is on 192.168.0.1, very briefly. Guide me digi...

I know people have had problems with the Watchdog causing it to reboot every 5 minutes. But, I am not sure if that could have anything to do with the current problem. I have also read that you have to telnet or SSH on port 9000, or that the router has an IP of something other than 192.168.x.x Are all the ports and addresses hardcoded in your package? Or is there some chance I just haven't found the right address/port combo yet? Also, while watching the Gargoyle Fonflash utility work, I notice the addresses 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.0.1 fly by, but it is too fast for me to read, esp on my netbook. I have tried those addresses, but no luck. Anyone have any clues? Can anyone confirm they have this working on the open-mesh "professional" with the watchdog feature? Thanks for your input digi, I'll keep working on this. If all else fails, I'll round up a serial cable.

I have flashed with the "Jasager Firmware 1.0", with my laptop connected to the only port on this router, the wan port. The only conflict it could have is with my laptop, and I have set my laptop's IP to 192.168.1.2, .99, etc etc I have also attached to to another router with DHCP to see if it was looking for an IP address, but it never received one. I have read elsewhere that these may have a problem rebooting after the flash, and seem to get stuck. They can be re-flashed once they reach this state, but there does not seem to be anything else that can be done with them from this state. I have also tried looking for it on a different subnet. But I have been unable to communicate with it. Could it have anything to do with this router being previously setup with http://dashboard.open-mesh.com ? I have read that you shouldn't allow the FON to update before flashing, but I didn't read anything about the open-mesh, so I didn't hesitate to plug it into a router and allow it to get an internet connection when I first got it.

No, I cannot ping it. Yes, I have set my interface to 192.168.1.99, 1.2, 0.2, 2.2, 3.2. Yes, I have multiple interfaces. I have attempted to telnet/ssh/ftp/sftp/etc etc with and without my wireless enabled. I have connected it to another router and run scans to try and find it's IP. I have run scans to ping all possibilities on subnets 0-10 I cannot access the router no matter what I try. Any other suggestions.

Yeah. I have flashed my open-mesh professional OM1P a half a dozen times now in various ways. No matter what I do, or what OS I am using, I cannot ping, ssh, ftp, sftp, scp, telnet into the router. I don't know if my NIC isn't properly configured, or if something else is wrong, but the flash goes fine (seemingly), but once it is done, I can't do anything. No wireless broadcast, no nothing. Frustrating. If anyone knows why, please explain.

I have flashed in both linux and Win7 and from neither have I been able to telnet in. Anyone know why?

I received my open-mesh, but cannot locate any information about flashing it with OpenWRT, or really any information at all. What do you know about this?

Hmmm. The script does not seem to be loading. Procedure I followed: Downloaded your archive. Extracted to folder on Win 7 machine. Formatted 8GB microSD card to Fat16 (with the max 2GB partition) copied contents of first-sd to root of SD card. Put microSD card in mini adapter. Inserted in ZipIt. Booted. (It booted normally) After 5-10 minutes, I hit the reset button with a paperclip. Booted again. Still boots normally without loading script. When it boots it says there is an SD card, and the database loaded. But it doesn't do anything more than that. Any suggestions? EDIT: Repeated the above steps with a 128MB miniSD card, and it worked after the reset. I am currently sitting at a OpenZipIt screen. I'll setup side-track on the 8GB card and see how it goes. Thanks. EDIT2: Up and running. Awesome man. Will continue testing.

My ZipIt is stock. This sounds like just the thing I have been looking for. Will test and report back ASAP. Thanks! EDIT: Installing now.

I keep looking around and there is absolutely zero information about the hardware.

lulz I bought the professional version, obvi. Thanks for the reply though. Anyone know if the pro is going to work? I'll figure it out once it comes, but I am impatient. I was originally going to get the cheaper one, but they charge a ton for shipping. So I found the more expensive one on amazon for cheaper shipping. So I figured I would get the l33t version for just a couple bucks more.

Just off the top of my head.... OpenSSH, OpenVPN, vsftpd/proftpd, squid, apt-cacher, samba/SWAT, MySQL, PHP, phpMyAdmin, Ruby on Rails, rtorrent/Torrentflux, aMule, (something for NZB?) Also, development tools, VIM, gcc, g++, QT4, mit-scheme, sun-java6-jdk Also, might as well build it into a Mythbuntu backend. That's all I can think of for now.

I have been lurking around here for about a week now. I was trying to find a fon, or a low cost equivalent and came across the open-mesh. It appears to be the exact same hardware. The only problem is, there are 2 versions, according to their website. the low-cost version, and the "professional" version. They say the professional version has a higher POE length, due to higher voltage from the power supply. I guess there is also a watch-dog chip on the pro version. My question is, are both compatible with OpenWRT/Jasager? Does the pro version perform that much better? I can't find answers to these questions anywhere. I can't even find any reference to either specific version, other than on the open-mesh site itself. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance.
