Thanks for the suggestions and ideas -- I have yet to get a single response from the folks on the OpenWRT board and I suspect the issue is more with the firewall on the router than the SB. I've done some checking:
1) Mick Seymour: I did a traceroute on the router to the SB at 10.0.0.201 and to the server at 172.16.7.2 and both were only one line long -- direct connection to each one. I'm glad you used the word "laptop." I hate laptops -- I don't like taking my work with me! I did a mental rundown on what else I had in the house and recently I dumped a lot of stuff because I was overloaded. If you hadn't said laptop, I would have forgotten I have an old Win98 laptop my Mother stopped using stashed away. I'll be testing that later this afternoon, when I get back from a class I need to go to. 2) GlenL: Yes, I was on auto-pilot, so I changed the netmask to 255.0.0.0, but that didn't make a difference. I'm not sure that would be the issue, since the addresses only differ on the byte, but I did try it. 3) radish: Yes, I'm telling the SB the server is at 172.16.7.2 and even tried a variation -- I told the router (as an experiment ONLY) to forward ALL incoming connections to 172.16.7.2 and tried telling the SB the server was at 10.0.0.101 (the router's WAN address) and that didn't help at all. Basically, I've tried every way possible to tell the SB where the server is. I don't think there is much more I can do with the SB, so I think the next step is to find out what I need to do with the router to clear all the settings in NVRAM and to reflash it (it's been a while since I've done that). More and more I suspect it's the router. -- HalNineThousand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HalNineThousand's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62565 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
