Networking :: Running a DSL webserver



As easy as that eh? Well I'll try to get the whole thing working first before I start updating software :D Hope to order some 802.11G stuff morrow!:;):
The goods have arrived and the router is working. Now just need to connect my DSL machine to the router and away I go........

[EXTRA]

cbagger01 have you or anyone else used the DynamicDNS option in the router that interfaces with dyndns.org?

[/EXTRA]
The server was working! See this thread....
I have not used the dyndns option in the router.

However, I did read something about a firmware update from linksys that solved a problem with the dyndns option.

So you may want to check your firmware revision and the linksys download page / changelog to make sure that your firmware version will work OK.

Also, if you upgrade your firmware to the latest version, it will probably close the "back door" that allowed the router administrator to run shell commands inside the router's mini-linux OS.

That's OK because you can always download a modified firmware package from one of the WRT54G linux modder web sites that will allow you to telnet or ssh into your router.  Just be careful and make sure that you know what you are doing before you push the install button.

Good Luck.
OK thanks for that.

Well dont really see a need to ssh into the router itself from the outside. Just would need access to my server. Will have a check of the Linksys site this evening. :)

P.S: Found this on the Linksys site:  router firmware. Seems the 'beta' copy closes the backdoor, dont know about the latest revision of the firmware ???
