Hi All,
I'm just starting out with DD-WRT on my Linksys E3000, so I don't know a lot (Using dd-wrt.v24-14853_NEWD-2_K2.6_std_usb_ftp-e3000.bin). I read over the "Optware, The Right Way" and this is what I have done so far, but need some more help:
(Telnet'd into 192.168.1.1)
Code:
wget -O /tmp/prep_optware http://wd.mirmana.com/prep_optware
sh /tmp/prep_optware
service xinetd on
service xinetd start
service transmission on
service transmission start
service twonky stop
service twonky off
reboot
This is the only thing I've done so far...
1) I don't get how to use Samba2 SWAT. I go to http://192.168.1.1:901 and get prompted for a user/pass, but what is it?! how do I set it?!
(I can access \\192.168.1.1\Public\ with no problems)
2) I have a PXE boot menu currently setup on my computer using tftpd32. I like to use the router as the PXE-Boot/TFTP Server instead and host the files on the USB Drive attached to the router. How do I set this up and where do I place the files on the router/USB Drive?
In the PXE Wiki, it says to edit "Additional DNSMasq Options", but only gives an example for redirecting to a computer and doesn't say how to completely run it off of the router. Do I just put "dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0"?
Thanks

I just upgraded to:
dd-wrt.v24-15453_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-e2k-e3k.bin
Now I am able to access Samba SWAT with:
User: root
Pass: (same as WebGUI/Telnet)
So, I am now able to access Samba SWAT! :)
I'm still failing to enable the TFTP Server...
The Wiki states:
Code:
"You can start a tftp server serving files from "/opt/tftpboot". This may prove useful for upgrading firmwares for embedded devices. Due to space constraints this feature is currently not supported. Use the optware package instead and disable the built-in dnsmasq service.
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/opt/tftpboot"
So, this tells me that the TFTP server has been disabled and to use one from Optware. I am new to this and don't know how to correctly install/configure a TFTP Server from optware.
From telnet, I type this:
"ipkg-opt list|grep tftp"
and get a listing for atftp, linksys-tftp and tftp-hpa. I have tried installing atftp and also tftp-hpa, but after doing so I don't see any new services running (by typing "service" in telnet). This is getting frustrating since I don't know a whole lot...
is there anyone that has a TFTP Server up and running on their DD-WRT Router that can help me?
Ok, so I got this partially working...
I installed tftp-hpa using:
"ipkg-opt install tftp-hpa"
I was then able to move my PXE files to /opt/tftpboot and now when trying to PXE-boot the router serves up the "pxelinux.0" file and then "/opt/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default". Now I get my main PXE-boot menu, however none of the other sub-menu's or backgrounds will load... Now, given the same exact PXE-boot menu/files work with no problem from a windows based server (tftpd32).
I'm stumped and and have yet to get ANY help...
Anyone have any ideas?
