It is Linux based, and the following Wiki page has the set up procedure for it using Telnet. You need to scroll down a ways to find them. <<a href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/D-Link/DSL-G604T" target="_blank">http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/D-Link/DSL-G604T</a>> / telnet 192.168.1.1 / Evidently not all DSL modems have a web browser- based cinfiguration interface as I had assumed before. Your's evidently has both telnet and ftp access to it's interface. Anyway, those pages should get you up and runnimg in short order. <div class="im"> Later, Ray Parrish - Human reviewed index of links about the computer <a href="http://www.rayslinks.com" target="_blank">http://www.rayslinks.com</a> Poetry from the mind of a Schizophrenic <a href="http://www.writingsoftheschizophrenic.com/" target="_blank">http://www.writingsoftheschizophrenic.com/</a> -- </div><div><div></div><div class="h5">ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> if you can't connect to the internet using static ip, you need to know the dhcp client's config on your pc. as I stated before go to the network config and uncheck the roaming mode and use the dhcp configuration, then in the console use the following: ifconfig cat /etc/resolv.conf and write down the parameters and that would be the info needed to configurate static ip address. as I've just seen that your modem/router doesn't have a web-based method to configurate port forwarding, so you'll have to read your manual to do that using telnet, it's not difficult at all, although I haven't done it for years. remember something roaming mode is just like using the dhcp config in network config, but it's not the same. and if you can use roaming mode and dhcp config, surely you can use static ip. -- "It is human nature to think wisely and act in an absurd fashion."
