The model number is: BEFSR41 version 3. have a look at openwrt.org No point the BEFSR41 does not run Linux and there is no 3rd party firmware for it, I have one and no longer use it as my firewall / router as there is no way of assigning static IP addresses on it's internal DHCP server. If you wish to use it as a router and need static IPs you can either assign them manually or turn off the DHCP server and use another one Or turn off the DHCP server and use it as a 4 port switch Or what I do with mine is I've changed its IP to 192.168.1.2 and the DHCP range starts at 192.168.1.10 then when I wish to reset / reflash / tinker with my Openwrt box I can put it into Failsafe mode which sets it's IP address to 192.168.1.1 but disables the DHCP server turn on my BEFSR41 renew my IP and telnet into my openwrt box, this saves mucking about with static IPs (which I can't seem to get working) and and makes the whole thing easer. The BEFSR41 is pretty old now, doesn't have great throughput (12Mb/s??) and is lacking in quite a few features, one thing going for it is it has a really good h.323 helper if you use that VOIP protocol. What exactly can I do with this in Linux? I have 2 computers and would like to network them using this. It came with a 6 foot ethernet cable and a 12V power adapter. Any ideas and/or pointers on what to do to set this up in Linux would be great. Right now I have raw ethernet frames being sent to my laptop which is using static IP so I have nothing in the way: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 66.93.172.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 0.0.0.0 66.93.172.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 My eventual goal is to setup a DMZ network and route my public network traffic behind that but for the present I just want to get my 2 computers sharing the DSL line using this router I got. Here is my planned DMZ setup: http://www.hyperyoda.org/my-DMZ-network-diagram.png PS: The Goodwill store has a 20 port Agilent switch (still wrapped in plastic in the box) for $20. Is that also a good deal? Zach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
