Wow it has been a whole year since joining here.

I am new at this but want to ask if you mean Netmask not subnet? I do not see a setting in wrt for subnet.

I think there should be a sticky some where, maybe on the $100 plus router that warns you of things like setting DHCP up on the FON without knowing what why or how. As for bricking the thing, there is most likely a nice easy way to get in to it but good luck getting any one to help. The most obvious answers will be, "its on the forum, look for it". "I could help but you wouldn't learn anything from it" The best advice I got was to learn more about networking in general. So I set up a Linux box and moved my vps to it, took me like 4 plus days and who knows how much vodka :) but in 2 months my FON will be paid for. I really have to thank you all that helped me. And this one thread here looks very promising so soon as my blood pressure comes down from all the SElinux pop ups and packet too large in mysql shoot I am going to try this out making sure i do not set DHCP up till I know there is an IP address that is written down on my forehead backwards. Last but not least I am going to buy a HAK5 jacket thingy, they look so cool but I am guessing not a good IDEA if you are doing P testing.

First off the posts on this are amusing. My first thought was, "Hey Dad why are you taking such long showers now?" But after about 8 hours I can see why one might want this. I love CCTV so having that in shower might be cool for all of 7 mins. If you just wanted video then there are cheap lcd, about 7", could be encased in plexi, velcro to wall. Or bash the tile out and install. This might creep out your GF though. Fast method to just be sure you want this. Academy is one place that has pouches for phones etc. Some with port outs, maybe a screen will fit in one. I found 7" tvs with line inputs for about 40 each awhile back, think it was office D.

I have been wanting to thank you Digininja, for all your work on this project and of course any one else that was kind enough to help you. I had to flash about 4 times because so many instructions do not jive well together. Like you have to rename .GZ or your installing a ipk but now you need the Oxxx not Ixxx (forgot the install name) oh and one had .install but the dot is invalid. There really should be some sort of order for us noobs but then again we are the last people you want knowing how to do this so I really don't blame the site for not making it easy. Even if I went about this all wrong it was only out of desperation. I like how your program works and it will be used only for good. Mostly learning. if you have any HVAC questions I will be more than happy to help.

Neat O, So that is not required. Boy was this fun. I have Jasager glowing. Funny how it is working like i always thought it would but did not do this out of box. This has been a great learning experience. I do not want to mess this up so maybe I should just go bowling and see if they will try to rip me off again, 4 cams one on body.

Still at it ... about 12 plus hours now and that is just today. I may need to make that drink from telnet login :) So here I am, I can see everything but I know something has not been installed, configgered right. I thought the firmware was going to have it all in place? Do I still need to install webif Ruby Is there something I could post that would some how make this a breeze to figure out? Edit: Ok I have jasager!!!!! No webif maybe thats another package? Funny I had it going before but could not get your code installed Robin. This is starting to be kind of funny.

Thank you Digininja, I actually downloaded backtrack iso today while Fn with the fon. I am now flashing for the 3rd time. This time using your firmware files. There are so many instructions on doing this, if you follow one it may not be right for you. I got all the way up to installing your files and ran out of room. I don't really need this for what I want to do but I can't stand to look at it every day unless it works. Sure hope this last thing did it.

thanks, I am looking up how to do it, this is so much fun. Ok I got winscp to work only the files will not install, says not found. Gee I wonder of chmode will be next. Ok all done only jasager wont install. I am this close

So it will sniff wifi ? I thought you had to buy the card(s) depending on wallet. Just got off phone with computer programmer cousin, he explained the SCP command but since I am in windows he suggests I locate windows ssh client, I think. he mainly does linux. But really I am happy that my fruit is growing, and will soon have roots, literally speaking.

Sorry I missed your post digininja. I was typing while you were. As for this working for my needs, I should have bought the 200 buck card from people that made wire shark or at least the ad is on their site. Even if this won't work like I had planned, I would still like to get it going again. All of this is helping me get over the loss.

True but I bought it many years ago. So here I go again. Starring at a putty screen. Able to log in but without internet I do not know how to get the files needed on the device. Instructions say to wget or SCP, ok done that before only can I do this on local machine. I am guessing its not suppose to see the net yet so that failed. I know the answer: go read up on linux commands, join another forum, search google... /etc guessing I need to install ftp server.

Thanks. Here is where I am at, and it looks good but crossing my fingers. Following instructions like you all have been telling me too ... I am at the point of having ports open and an address of 192.168.1.1 so I can telnet in. The packages I downloaded from http://www.digininja.org/jasager/download.php should be correct but I need to do this in xp. I had to skip ahead in the instructions as they didn't apply to this FON and some files had to be found on the net as they were not in indexed link, that has got to be a major PITA for someone noobing it. So wish me luck.

Don't laugh, you know my experience in this is NOP. My hopes were to set a rule in commview looking for my mac address. While in an area where I think the laptop is at they might connect to the FON. I know this is so unlikely but its all I have, well sort of but I have said too much, they might be reading this. Back to my problem. At this point I just want to know how to work with the FON but a few questions have not been answered. I really have looked all over and tried this and that. 1. I bought a pineapple 2 is this a FON, FON2, Fon+ ? does it matter? 2. Must a crossover cable be used? I have an old linksys befw11s4, with FON plugged in to it, I can wifi in using the ssid I created, which is still set. All I get is linksys page at 192.168.1.1 3. How to set my nic up to talk to the FON in easy steps from xp ? I have tried all sorts of settings and monitor what is going on using commview. By the way I have had this program for many years back when it cost $99, it is what I am use to using. I do now have wireshark, and it looks promising. I need to eat all my pineapple before moving on. 4. Many of the instructions mention using putty, had it for years to obtain root access for my server but in my case if I don't know the ip how can I re flash anything? 5. I am missing something that is most likely pinging me in the face. Lastly, I just downloaded backtrack and already have ubuntu ready to go, will most likely place them each on separate machines as I want a server that is stand alone. but can I do any of this out of xp ? I really thank you all for helping me in this matter. When I get my laser operated fly killing machine up and running I will share the design with all that are interested.

My netbook and other stuff were stolen, my girls videos and pics are on there. I now have pin pointed the people within an apartment complex. My plan was to use the PA2, by the way is that a Fon or fon 2 or + because I need to know this when I crack it open (good thing I found the hidden post on screws under feet). Of course now I am thinking a basic router might have worked but after watching all the videos here I got excited that I might have a chance of finding my laptop. Of course if they change mac address well but then I am hoping that is over there head. When I bought the PA2 my thought was sure its a lot of $$ when a fon could be bought for less but then there is all the time getting it together. Something I have plenty of in winter but not now. I also felt it was helping the forum which helps all as a whole, like a happy family. I read the forums, over and over, searched the net. There is hardly anything out there on this. And some instructions don't apply to the one I have. So I plug it in a router, it should get an address because I fiddled and faddled too much setting the dhcp. well only server I have is an old router, it does not show up in log or dhcp clients. Maybe I left it bridged and dhcp. All of the instructions for re flashing seem to require being able to talk to it, but how? So my thought is I need to buy or build a serial cable. Ok can I use one that goes on actual serial port of a computer, if so I have what I need. My other thought was using a hub on router with PA2 / notebook, packet program, it would see all traffic, maybe I could catch the IP. I understand why many don't want to help right off, your sick of hearing it. Like the teacher saying to, "go look it up in the dictionary". My plans of building a linux box started late summer, been too busy, but with the high hosting VPS fees I have to do something soon. Which in turn will teach me all this stuff, over time.
