mesh node up and running when go to connect on xchat error connection failed error no route to host did the setup for port forwarding   using XP on laptop

Some information about the older Picostations was put into the system.

However support for them wont be known until testers come forward to actually test them.

The old PicoStations do appear have enough ram/flash on first glance, but they may also use a different  cpu which we have not been producing firmware for yet (however it may be possible to produce firmware for them)    Whenever a new device comes up it needs to be tested, and that means users with hardware willing to load untested firmware on the device and work with the dev team to make it a supported device.

Never a guarantee anything will work until it has been tested for real, only probabilities and hunches.

Thanks. Its working now.

I believe this is referring to a page on my website.  I have made a couple of corrections and I believe the instructions are now correct.

Thanks for letting me know of the error and sorry for the confusion.

Hi group,

So I have looked all over and can find no information on reverting one of my WRT54G routers back to its former firmware version. Are there any instructions for accomplishing this task??? Even reverting back to factory firmware and then I can reflash to something else would be fine. Thoughts, hints, kinks, etc.....

Thanks,

Ken

That's fine. No need to supply me with a link. If there was any wrong information presented on this site, I wanted to get it corrected. I am glad you got it working. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Is this somewhere on the website? If so, we'll get it fixed.

Found the problem.  The online directions I was following said to enter "localhost" when using PUTTY and a SSH KEY to gain access to the router.  I never could get it to work with "localhost" but when I tried "localnode" it worked!

Just took me three hours (and many different troubleshooting steps) to figure it out.  But...I am learning!

Does anyone know how to get PUTTY's logging feature to work?  Not that important, but I was trying to use the log to diagnose this problem, and never could get it to log any data.

Now on to the next challenge.

I am using the latest version of Broadband Hamnet firmware.  I can access my router through the normal password.  However, I am attempting to add a SSH key using PUTTYgen from a Windows XP machine.  The directions I have found online are not working.  I can get my public key to load, but when I try to connect with PUTTY....the connection i refused.

Anyone had any experience?  I sure could use some help.  Thanks

Ok, just wanted to be sure you didn't have a version 5 to 8 model sneak in on you.

And to be sure, you are updating from HSMM-Mesh 0.4.3 or earlier, not the original Linksys firmware?

I'm presuming this is an update from our earlier firmware so... first off, please don't go changing the extension - it won't help. Any updates from previous versions of HSMM-Mesh/BBHN firmware is done with the genuine .trx file. PERIOD! The .bin files are used strictly for first time loads into the original Linksys firmware as they have the necessary header bytes to identify the model for Linksys's loader.  Once the HSMM-MESH/BBHN firmware has been installed the router has be new loader and will not accept .bin files.

If connecting the WAN port to your home network and updating via the Internet and the Administration page doesn't work then you have three options:

1. manually download the .trx file and upload it via the Administration page on your router.
2. scp the .trx file to /tmp on your router, then ssh into the box and issue the command 'reflash'.
3. Try the tftp procedure in 'http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/documentation/72-installing-firmware-with-tftp.html'

There has been a topic floating around on the [Mw] reflector for the past few days about utilizing

the 10GHz band for HSMM linking.

The last most of us there know about was the N6GN work roughly 25 years ago:

Would anybody be interested in trying to revive this project and modernize it for today's usage?

Would need to probably redesign how it interfaces with an ethernet card.

I have two Linksys routers (WRT54G v.3) which I have flashed about a year ago.  I want to upgrade to the latest firmware.  I can not connect to the router using localnode:8080.  I have tried both routers and I get the same response from both Chrome and Mozilla.  I tried IPCONFIG /release and also renew and still the same thing.   Can someone get me going in the right direction?  Thanks.
