Re: PirateBox Network Config Help

Matthias: Thanks for your reply. Yes I have flashed the firmware to WRT. I entered FailSafe mode and was able to telnet to 192.168.1.1. From there I "mount_root" and edited /etc/config/network. I took a screen shot and here is how I saved the file:

config interface 'loopback'
option ifname 'lo'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config interface 'lan'
option ifname 'eth0'
option type 'bridge'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.13'
option option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option gateway '192.168.1.1'
list dns '192.168.1.1'
list dns '8.8.8.8'


I then use Putty to SSH to 192.168.1.13:22 and after a couple of seconds I get the same PuTTY Fatal Error "Network error: Connection timed out". Also, on my Netgear WNR3500L router the LED for the second ethernet port (i.e. the port I plugged the MR3020 into) is orange and blinking, while the port where my desktop is connected to is green and blinking.

I also tried editing the Firewall and Wireless conifg files to no avail. The only thing that changed is that Windows can now see an "OpenWRT" wireless network.

Edit: I figured it out. I was going off the Pabell guide and I didn't see that he omitted " option proto 'static' ". The guide on Prof. Dart's page does include this in the modified Netowork config file. I noted this in bold above this edit.
