You need to configure your laptop with a static IP, at least until you get the DHCP server on the ERX running again.
Almost there. Now using the ThinkPad X200[1]. Did another power-on reset of the new ER-X. Connected the laptop to the router's eth0. On the laptop: ip address add 192.168.1.55/24 dev eth0 ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 Now ping 192.168.1.1 sent packets are received. Good. Using firefox, opened 192.168.1.1 and logged in using ubnt/ubnt. In the User tab added (changed) login name and password. In the System tab added host name, LAN DNS IP address, domain name; restored Russell's config.boot. Unfortunately, forgot to change the DHCP address range; will do so after I get access to web interface again. As the router rebooted I moved the Ethernet cable from eth0 to eth1. Reset laptop's eth0 interface address to 192.168.55.6. Root can ping 192.168.55.4 (router1's LAN gateway address) and firefox loads the router's login page. But, when I enter the changed login name and password the ER-X tells me that one or the other is incorrect. If 192.168.55.6 can ping 192.168.55.4 does the first interface need to be replaced with one from the router's DHCP lease range to be able to log in? Is there a way to determine what it wants without re-doing everything? (Which takes time but now the process listed above works using the X200.) Rich [1] I've given up on the Dell Latitude 2100. Removed partitions on the 110G SSD. It has a new battery, too. It's going to Free Geek unless someone here wants it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
