Breezy! Site

Hello.

I noticed this web site doesn't show images when web browsers' sendreferrers are blocked. When viewing one of the images directly, I see:

"This server has deemed the access as forbidden (403) (none) <my IP address deleted> /forums/images/statusicon/thread_hot.gif Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11) Gecko/20100701 SeaMonkey/2.0.6

Is there a reason for this? I do not allow my web browsers to send referrers.

Thank you in advance. :)

Hello.

Is it me or does Linksys WRT54GL v1.1, with its firmware v4.30.13, not log "Incoming Log Table"? I see nothing in http://192.168.0.1/Log_incoming.asp (yes, I changed its IP address from its default 192.168.1.1):

Incoming Log Table
Source IP Destination Port Number


No IP addresses, etc. Just empty logs. I also tried power cycling the router too.

I do see logs in its outgoing though. I assume incoming log table is logging blockages and other datas. I tried power cycling the router and checking with other computers and web browsers too. :(

Thank you in advance. :)

I thought I needed some kind of uptime monitoring for my hosts and since tomato has no builtin tool for such purpose i've created one and now i'm releasing the source code under GPLv3, might be interesting for some of tomato users

I have a main router which will allow me to have and automatically update two dynamic DNS addresses. I would like to add a third and I have several access points on my system also running tomato. I'd like to have one of the access points to serve by updating the third dynamic DNS. The problem is that as an access point the WAN port is disabled. I see an option to use an external IP checker(every ten minutes). Would using this option check and correctly update the WAN IP on the main router for the purpose of updating the third Dynamic DNS?

I'm currently at a University and the wireless connection doesn't reach to my room so I'm interested in purchasing a router (I have a wired connection). While I'm at it I figured I might as well find a way to auto log on into the University's network and wanted to see if Tomato or a mod could help. Upon opening a web browser I'm redirected to a log on site where my username and password is required. Is there a way for me to automate this process through the router rather than scripts specifically on my computer (I'd like authentication to be done by the router so other devices such as a Kindle or Palm Pre can use the wifi without the credentials).



tl;dr.
Can I use Tomato to automatically input log on credentials?



P.S. If I can provide any additional information that would be helpful let me know.

Apologize if this has been covered somewhere but I searched and searched but could not find it.

I have tomato installed on my asus router. I often travel outside the country and need to set up something so thAt my iPad can access netflix/ abc etc. from outside the country.

I know that iPad allows you to enter a proxy server. Is there a way to use my home router in us as a proxy server?

Thanks

I have successfully flashed from dd-wrt to tomato usb.

My configuration is as follows; modem (SmartAX MT882)is connected to wan port of 520GU, then desktop is connected via a wired connection from a 520GU LAN port.

The problem is my desktop pc can't connect to the internet. Can anyone help changing some settings on tomato (and maybe my modem?) to get internet working over LAN.

tomato settings are currently default 192.168.1.1 etc.


Edit:

On tomato:

WAN:

DHCP
ip:192.168.1.2
mask:255.255.255.0
Gate:192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1:80

LAN:
router ip:192.168.1.1
Sub: 255.255.255.0
DHCP:
192.168.1.100-192.168.1.149

On the modem I enabled bridge mode I believe this would be a first step.

As some tipsters had suggested earlier this week, the FCC will be addressing white space broadband at their upcoming September 23 meeting. According to a meeting agenda (pdf) posted to the FCC website, the FCC's September meeting will focus on the E-Rate program (specifically, letting universities and schools purchase dark fiber directly), some E911 issues, and White Space broadband. The FCC announcement says that by creating rules that will allow "unlicensed wireless devices to operate in unused parts of TV spectrum," they'll "create opportunities for investment and innovation in advanced Wi-Fi technologies and a variety of broadband services." Somewhere, Wally the interference demon and Dolly Parton (aka the National Association of Broadcasters) are really pissed off.

If you remember the hysteria that surrounded war driving (people who drive around looking for unsecured hotspots), surely those terrified by the concept will enjoy this. According to Popular Science, a couple of hackers have modified a US Army gunnery target drone, turning it into a flying Wi-Fi sniffer. The WASP (Wi-Fi Aerial Surveillance Platform) is guided by an open source auto pilot system that uses Google Earth, and is capable of 1,000 square feet of "sniffing" at an altitude of about 400 feet. Once the drone finds the hotspot the pilot's looking for, it can be put into a holding pattern. The WASP's website has only the basic construction details if you're looking for a holiday weekend project.

As we've long noted, the FCC has made broadband policy decisions based on flawed and incomplete data for years. Part of the 1996 Telecom Act required that the agency release quarterly reports on the status of broadband deployment. Unfortunately for consumers, that data has always been essentially useless -- with the FCC declaring any zip code that has just one served broadband customer in it to be "wired" for service. This rose-colored glasses mentality is (very) slowly changing.

The FCC this week released their latest report (pdf) on the state of the broadband union, though they're still working with fouteen-month-old data.

According to the FCC, as of June 30 of 2009, there were 71 million residential landline broadband connections, and only 44% of them met the agency's goal for the standard definition of broadband: 4 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.

This report is of particular note because it's astonishingly the first time the FCC has required that ISPs provide details on what speed tiers consumers subscribe to. The FCC's data shows that 5.4% of consumers subscribed to 200-700kbps service, 14.1% subscribe to 768kbps-1.5 Mbps service, and 13.7% subscribe to 1.5-3 Mbps. On the faster end of the scale, 31% subscribe to 6-10 Mbps service, and 17% subscribe to speeds between 10 and 25 Mbps.

Other data of note from the study includes the fact that as of June 2009 there were 4 million fiber to the home connections, 31 million DSL connections, and 41 million cable broadband connections. Wireless Internet subscriptions jumped 40% in the first six months of 2009 to 35 million subscribers, though only 45% of those connections met the government wireless stimulus baseline of 768Kbps downstream and 200Kbps upstream.

Verizon's "exclusive" agreement with Skype has created a Skype client that has a number of quirky restrictions -- including the fact that it eats your wireless minutes in some instances (conveniently keeping voice minutes relevant in the age of smartphone mobile VoIP). But Skype's specialized Verizon application also had a fairly nasty bug: Android users who used the Skype app over 3G couldn't turn on Wi-Fi -- at all.

In other words, they couldn't use Skype on 3G and browse the Internet via Wi-Fi. At the time, Verizon gave a roundabout explanation, admitting there was a bug, but also insisting that CALEA wiretap restrictions were partially to blame for the problem, as the Verizon-specific app runs over Verizon's traditional voice network. Whatever the cause, Verizon and Skype have apparently figured it out, and Skype for Verizon smartphones now works with Wi-Fi turned on.

You might recall that former FCC boss Kevin Martin and a company by the name of M2Z Networks had been cooking up a plan for a smut-censored free national wireless service with a free wireless component. We had predicted the plan would never actually leave the ground and that wound up being true, the project derailed by both politics and the fact that the plan itself while creative -- simply wasn't very good. After returning from the dead and being bounced around the halls of the FCC in slightly modified form, the FCC has finally dropped the effort completely. M2Z sent Broadband Reports an e-mailed statement lamenting the decision:"The FCC s decision to delay the use of this valuable spectrum forgoes the consumer welfare and economic stimulus that would result from putting new spectrum into the marketplace," said John Muleta, CEO of M2Z Networks. A new nationwide broadband entrant that provided a free broadband service would have created tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs throughout the country while giving all Americans an equal opportunity to participate in the digital economy. Despite the spectrum crisis facing the U.S. as documented by the FCC s National Broadband Plan, the AWS-3 spectrum will continue to lie fallow providing no economic value to American consumers."Of course the plan always faced an uphill battle, and was heavily lobbied against by the wireless industry and their trade group the CTIA, who obviously didn't want the added competition for lower end customers. The CTIA sent us a statement saying they were "pleased" by the FCC's decision:"As we had argued throughout the proceeding, a designer allocation auction that would be tailored for one company was not in the public s interest, especially when that company was offering broadband service that is slow by even yesterday s standards."While 768 kbps is certainly slow, you probably would have a hard time beating the price, and M2Z did show a degree of vision in the plan's development. The plan itself was just always various degrees of bad, initially including a mandate that would require porn filters. Various versions were also based on seemingly unrealistic build out schedules, and the end result was never really going to offer particularly compelling speeds.

Back in June broadband streaming video game service OnLive launched, offering users what's essentially a dumb terminal community-driven gaming service for $14.95 a month -- plus the cost of games. Reviews for the service so far have been mixed, and not too surprisingly dependent on the quality and speed of your broadband connection. Currently, the service only operates with an Ethernet connection -- but OnLive's considering adding 802.11n to the unit as a beta product sometime before October. They're also extending their Founding Members program for the second time, offering users a free year of service and a $4.95 monthly rate for life (theirs, or yours) to users who signs up before January 1, 2011.

Just yesterday we were discussing how analysts believe Verizon wasn't truly competing in the prepaid space because they were concerned with diminishing the perceived value of the Verizon brand, and having to engage in price competition with smaller carriers. With a flood of recent new prepaid offers, Verizon has announced a new unlimited data package for select smartphone users priced at $30 per month, and a $10 plan with a 25MB monthly cap and 20 cent per megabyte overage fee. As PC World notes this is a mixed bag on value (see chart), with users paying more for their phone, voice minutes and monthly total bill than postpaid, but with no ETF. By restricting qualified phone models and making users pay a monthly premium for voice and data, Verizon's trying to actually discourage users from going prepaid.

Hello,

I installed the latest Tomato firmware on my v1.1 WRT54 Linksys router.

I can browse like crazy on the web from six different PCs. For weeks.

I just started today to play Battlefield 2 AIX Mod and am getting network disconnects every 10 minutes, with NO ONE ELSE on my home network.

Is this expected with default setting for Tomato? What can I do to fix this issue? Is there some QoS settings I need to make, I really don't know much about the QoS setting or what ports I need to muck around with to get Battlefield 2 to work without disconnects....

thanks,
Bob

Hello,

I was wondering what's going to happen to our routers and to Tomato when IPv6 comes out? Will it all become obsolete and useless?

Thanks!

As the title states my Netgear needs .chk from the default firmware but the TomatoUSB firmware is built as .trx. Can I simply rename the file to the .chk extension?
Or is there a firmware that I should flash to it inbetween.

Thanks for your help,
DF
