Router issues...

[iago]

As I told some of you, I'm away in New York right now. Naturally, since I'm out of town, that = computer problems.

I narrowed it down to my Linksys WRT54g router dropping most packets for non-established connections (but, strangely, working fine for established connections). That means that once I'm SSHed in, everything's fine.

I wish I could reboot my router remotely, but it appears that Linksys WRT54g with stock firmware doesn't let you. I've been looking for a way, but it doesn't look promising.

So, if you manage to see this before I get back on Sunday, congrats!!

Hurray!

Did I win? I had to refresh many times to get this far.

does your wrt54g have a console interface?
You might be able to find it at Administration->Diagnostics.

If so, the "reboot" command should do the trick.

Sadness

1. Go to the Administration tab after logging into the router
2. Go to Config Management
3. Click Backup button and back up the Config.bin file to the default directory or of your choice.
4. Click Browse and choose the same Config.bin file.
5. Click Restore button. The router will restart.

Nope, I looked for that.

Hmm, interesting! I'll take a look at that one.

so what's with all the recent traveling?

Yay for x86 without CSS! I'll see you on Sunday.

Conference, then a course.

I'm getting ready to offer to host it on the same server where jinxbot.net lives.  Geez.

[Chavo]

iago already turned down my offer to have it hosted on my server

I think you missed the part where I'm out of town. It's hard to fix something like a broken router without physical access.

Bad luck happens. You'll get over it!

Ideally, someone could have set up a HTTP server that turns all requests over to your server through a tunnel, so that they're all one actual connection to your server. But oh well.

It seems to be working okay now. Did you fix something?

[iago]

Yeah, I just got home and powercycled my gear (router + switch + modem). As expected, it instantly fixed everything. Woo!
