Hello,

I am new on forum and with DD-WRT. I have a Asus RT-N66U with firmware DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/27/13).

I want to install Transmission and I am following the Optware, the Right Way tutorial of this link http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Optware,_the_Right_Way. I have some problems.

The first it is that I can't ping to www.yahoo.com but I can ping to 8.8.8.8. I think it is possible my wan connecion of the router that was not set DNS server but I looked on Administration WAN Config that set local dns puts 8.8.8.8 and in the state of wan connection appears 3 dns servers. I don't how fix this problem and I need a solution. My configuration wan connection it's by DHCP.

I attach you an image to understand better.

The second problem if I donwload prep_optware software from browser and I put with winscp in the path that the guide says I received an error when I tried to execute with the message "Optware Installation was NOT successfull". I attach another image to understand.

Someone knows how to fix two problems and if the to problems are relationship?

Thanks in advanced!!

Which build are you on?


i fixed it this ping to google.com or yahoo.com before. I started playing around with all the setting in ddwrt on build 14929. Ever since I upgraded to build 16785, I have been unable to get the ping to work.



If you fixed it let me know how you did it.

[sputnik99]

My build is 21676.

I think I have problem to solve dns names and for this reason this ping doesn't work and the optware installation also doesn't work.

How I can review this problem in the configuration? Some ideas?

Thanks

[sputnik99]

The build is dd-wrt.v24-21676_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega_RT-N66U.

Optware is not compatible with Kernel 3.x. Only Kernel 2.4 and 2.6.

[sputnik99]

Ok.

And why you post this in your sign?

[James2k]

Because a very early version of "Optware" for 3.x is available, but it doesn't have any of the scripts/services working yet as they all need to be redeveloped for K3.x, but you are able to use opkg to install additional packages much like ipkg/ipkg-opt:

You cannot however use the other prep script as its for K.24 and K.26.

I'll take out the Optware part in my signature to avoid confusion.

[sputnik99]

Ok, James2k I understand your answer but still I have a problem to solve dns names because when I do it wget with URL also the router doing nothing.

Any ideas to solve this?

[James2k]

Your DNS settings are obviously misconfigured. I noticed you mentioned 8.8.8.8 which is Google's DNS, switch back to your ISP's DNS settings and try.

[siloan]

Google's dns are way faster than others and your problem is not from google's dns, most likely there is something wrong in your firewall scripts blocking dns requests/ports.

[sputnik99]

siloan, I think this is the key to solve my problem but you know wich is the name of the interface of router sock connection?

Thanks

[James2k]

[siloan]

What could be the problem, dns restrictions due to isp involving in cdns?
sputnik get a telnet/ssh connection and ifconfig will show you the available interfaces.

[sputnik99]

siloan I think that the conection sock of the router is vlan2 but I attach images with ifconfig configuration.

Can someone confirm?

Thanks

[sputnik99]

James2k,

I want to install Transmission client in dd-wrt and connect usb drive to router for donwloads. If with Optware I can't do it and with 2.6 kernel the USB doesn't work fine, can you tell how I can do it or where I can read how to acomplish my objective?

Thanks in advance
