I’ve had DD-WRT on my home router for awhile. DD-WRT works well but I want to setup some VLANS to play with some LAB configuration and the build of DD-WRT did not have the VLAN GUI. I had no success configuring this on the command line (could totally be me). I always wanted to try OpenWRT but I have had zero success so far loading it to any hardware. I came across this video on Youtube: ...
My iPXE setup is coming along just lovely, and it is working out just fine. My goal is to avoid scurrying around like a headless chicken looking for USB flash drives and optical media whenever I have to work on someone’s system. This part usually takes the most out of me when I am fixing a system as I can never seem to find install media, usb drives and my tools. I sure wish I could network boot my tools! I’m trying to become more organized in that regard :-). ...
Network Booting my WinPe image with pxelinux has been an illusive goal of mine. I got it working :-). Get iPXE I downloaded iPXE into my home folder: git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git cd ipxe/src make cp bin/undionly.kpxe /tftproot/ PXE Chainloading I have configured my network to chainload iPXE using the “undionly.kpxe” image. I configured my dhcp server (dd-wrt) to point to my tftp server which runs on my NAS. I placed “undionly.kpxe” in the tftp root folder. ...

What got it to Flash Success came with these work arounds: 1. Disable Windows firewall on the command line: netsh firewall set opmode disable 2. Using the ASUS firmware update tool you’ll have to place the .trx file on the root of the C: drive. ...

Debugging PPPoE Problems PPPoE is used mainly for handling connections via Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL). Remember: The WRT54G / WRT54GS doesn’t have an integrated DSL modem, so you need an external one. Cabling After connecting the WRT54G(S) router to the DSL modem on the port labeled Internet make sure that the Internet LED at the front panel is lit. If not, check cabling. Reboot your DSL modem after you connected the router to it. ...
