Accessing WRT54G admin through WET610N bridge

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I am using a WRT54G router to host a few computers and servers. I have another computer that is wired to a wireless bridge, which is a WET610N. How do I access the admin page of my WRT54G through my bridge? "http://192.168.1.1/" gives no response. What I really want is to be able to RDC into my other machines that are connected to my WRT54G through my computer that is connected to the WET610N bridge. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! (HowTos)

Hi fellow LQers,

Problem Summary: - Linksys WRT54G dd-wrt NOT able to route when in Router mode

Env: - Linksys WRT54G running dd-wrt v24 firmware - LAN Subnet: 10.0.0.0/8 - WAN Subnet: 172.16.0.0/16 - Linux FC13 configured as a IPv4 router - LAN 172.16.0.0/16 - WAN ISP/Public IP

Setup: wired/wireless client -> Linksys WRT54G -> Linux FC13 router -> Intern

I suspect my Tivo and Sony Bluray aren't symbiotic on my home network.

I was messing with my WRT54G running OpenWRT and I may have ruined it, but I am not sure.

By default, it has a static IP of 192.168.1.1, but I turned that off and made so it gets its IP from DHCP. After changing that setting, I cannot get to the admin panel, but I still see it broadcasting the WLAN. Pinging 192.168.1.1 times out.

STP on a bridge 23 weeks 2 days ago

I have set up a bridge on an interface em1 and connected 4 vms to the bridge. I disabled stp on the bridge. There is no chance of looping as there is only one bridge in this setup, there occurs a BPDU error due to broadcast storming in my switch. Will a bridge forward packets on the source port also if STP is disabled or is there any other reason for this broadcast storm?

I've have a wireless bridge (tew640mb) that connects to a wireless router. If I connect a machine with one NIC into a port on the bridge, the network connection is fine.

This is my network:

Dotted lines indicate wireless connections, solid lines indicate Ethernet connections.

I used two ASUS routers and Tomato to bridge my network.

Dell mini 10 with ubuntu 10.04/windows xp, connecting to linksys wrt54g. Connected when I was using 9.10, has worked for several months since 10.04 was installed. Still works if I boot XP, but, when booting Ubuntu, router won't accept the passkey which I obtained from my wired computer. I've glanced through a bunch of posts and see several which are close, but no solution.

Scenario: I have an old Dell desktop connected to my router. The router's a Linksys WRT54G with the Tomato firmware. The box has openssh-server installed and running on port 2222.

I have setup a brctl bridge on Ubuntu with the following deployment:

Cisco router -> Linux bridge -> client computer

The bridge forward the following packets types: ARP,STP, but doesn't forward IP.

Trying brctl br0 stp off (and on) doesn't help. Trying to activate both ethernet cards with promisc mode doesn't help either.

set edge to 0 (and set max edge to 0) doesn't help either.
