routers that are accessible

routers that are accessible

[Scott Howell]

Folks,

I asked about this a while back, but can't find my list. What I'm 
looking for is a router that would have an interface that would be 
accessible via lynx or telnet. If not possible, which router has folks 
had the best luck with in terms of configuration and have you used 
something like Freedom Box or a browser like Mozilla under Gnome to 
access it.
I'd like to get a router that has a good firewall that supports nat and 
all that good stuff. My goal is to take this old P133 offline. Any 
thoughts or advice appreciated.

Scott

Re: routers that are accessible

[Alex Snow]

you're probably gonna find that replacing that box with a router is 
more like a downgrade. Most consumer routers don't have any advanced 
features, the firewalls are either not configurable or very basic, and 
a lot of times they only have a web-based interface that relies 
heavily on javascript.
The speed of a p133 shouldn't be a problem for routing, I've worked on 
one that serves aprox. 20 computers and it keeps up with the demand 
fine.
If you experience slowness, make sure all the NICs are 100mb, and make 
sure you have at least 64mb ram. the parts for machines of that era 
are usually easy to find and extremely cheap (I have boxes of parts 
from machines of that era all obtained from stuff being dumped).

I access mine with Internet explorer.
It is a dLink 713.
If I were to get one now, I would be sure to have one that has USB
connectivity, so I could hook up a printer, and if possible, a hard drive
via USB.

I had an SMC Barricade 801.11b with three 10/100 ethernet ports plus an
uplink port that was quite usable with lynx. The only function I
couldn't do was reboot the unit. Fortunatly, power cycling it had the
same effect so it wasn't a serious problem.

I also flashed it's rom once using ftp.

Try the Netgear FVS318 or similar model, it has a web interface but not 
sure how well it will work with Lynx.  This model is not only a router but 
firerwall with an 8 port 10/100 switch and works with PPOE and a variety of 
DDNS service providers as well as has VPN tunneling capability.
Since I first purchased mine there have been severl free firmware upgrades 
which have added new features and enhancements to the user interface.

I also believe Netgear has models with builtin wireless, print server 
capabilities and a variety of other features, check out there web site for 
specific models.

Re: routers that are accessible

You have the same router as I do.  How the heck do you get it to work under 
Linux?  What distro do you have to run?  I've been trying to get that and my 
wireless adapter to work for about a month.

Re: routers that are accessible

[Alex Snow]

wireless adapters and linux can be anoying sometimes. does your card 
have linux drivers? if not then grab ndiswrapper from 
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net and use it to install the windows 
ndis drivers for your card. I got this working with a linksys 802.11b 
card using a broadcom chipset.

Re: routers that are accessible

[Zachary]

The trouble is that this thing is a USB adapter, not technically a card.  I 
don't have an Ethernet card of any kind.
I have looked in the Gentoo kernel modules, and found no driver for Belkin.
To be honest, I'm a bit worried about installing because I'll destroy the 
home network, to which my computer is the gateway.  That's why I initially 
wanted to install Linux on my laptop, whose internet connection I can 
control.

Do you have an ethernet connection in the back of your computer?
Some machines have a network adapter on the motherboard.
This is better than using USB.

Re: routers that are accessible

[Zachary]

Odds are that I do, but just don't know what I'm looking for.  I'd prefer to 
stick with what works well, if that's possible.  Unless, of course, Linux 
will not work with my adapter.
I'm wondering how to get network support for an installation, if this is all 
I have to work with.
Any ideas?

Re: routers that are accessible

[Zachary]

This is a bit hard.  Windows refuses to identify the Belkin as anything more 
than a "Belkin 11MBPS Wireless USB Network Adapter."
And whenever USB.c in Linux detects it, it says that it isn't claimed by any 
active driver.
Essentially what I have is a little device, about the size of my hand, with 
two antennae sticking out of it.

Re: routers that are accessible

[Farhan]

hmmmm did the belkin card come with a cd? if it did, install the software and it should give you something in your control panel called a belkin wireless utility

Re: routers that are accessible

[Scott Howell]

Thanks to everyone for the helpful info regarding routers and such. FOr 
my configuration I think I wouldn't need much in terms of complex as my 
goal is to keep everyone out.
I really don't need to extra horsepower of a machine, but at least I 
have options to consider for my basic needs.
Thanks again.

Scott
