Have you worked through the steps in the "How to configure your home network" article? http://customer.kb.hughesnet.com/Pages/1189.aspx Because until you do that there really isn't much help the PLUG mailing list can offer you. Although many of us here, including myself have a lot of experience with wired/wireless networks and OpenWrt, we're not Hughesnet tech support and do not know the particulars of how they do things. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
