WRT54GL 1.1 with version 3 firmware - trying to download a package, I click "refresh" and get a message saying it can't reach the web, altho the  browser can reach that site.   Is there another way to download a package ?

After trying to work with the internet provider for the official BBHN webserver, I have gone in and completely shut off IPv6 to the server hosting the site for now (where nodes SHOULD be getting the files from).

They had turned it on DHCP only, and the server picked up on it by default, BUT the provider is not doing full implementation (no DNS/rDNS or static IPs, etc) yet, with no ETA for that type of administration. Until they get their act together, I will just leave it off, as it was causing many other problems.

Shutting it off in the official web site SHOULD now allow nodes with a connection to the internet to again get the information when you hit REFRESH (both for firmware and packages).

73 and Happy Meshing!

More info: Yesterday, when I  shut off the IPv6 on the server, my nodes could grab the firmware list, but packages were still failing (still trying to use IPv6). It took a while but propagation happened and now packages work too.
