Want a feedback please!!!

From work, I SSH (using autossh, and not port 22) into my WRT and set up a tunnel (one could also use the very excellent Tunnelier on Windows). I use proxy forwarding, using FoxyProxy to manage my FireFox connections (internal to work or external), and all external traffic is being tunneled to my home router, which then relays back all internet traffic. This way all external traffic, including DNS requests, is fully encrypted from prying eyes in IT (including IM messages). I've use wireshark to verify the traffic, and boy is it encrypted.

This also allows me to directly connect to my home routers/adapters/PC from work. I can monitor the status of the RT (and WRT) from the comfort of my office chair.

Well, I can't tunnel back to my home computer from the office. Well, I could, but I would have to fire myself. I don't work in IT, but Security of the network falls under my control, and when I see people connecting to their network at home to bypass filters and such, they get marched to HR. There is too many things that people have access on here that we can't have either walking off, or a unsecured internet point coming in.

BUT, I know what you are saying.

I supposed, but it's no different that someone with a 32GB memory stick dumping everything on that and walking out. Nothing's more effective or stealth than sneaker-net.

I don't use it to bypass filtering. I'm tired of reauthing every 30 minutes since I run Linux of my laptop and not on a domain.

Anyways, back to topic. Let me know if you get around to changing the wiring and if it helps.

What firmware are you running on the WRT54GS?

I know it might be a pain, but did you try hooking things as described in my post? I'd be curious if that resolved your issue.

/c

Firmware version v7.50.2. I couldn't find any higher version anywhere.

Oh. The Linksys's firmware. I was curious if you were running dd-wrt or tomato. Have you considered dd-wrt?

I think someone else is going to hook things up the way I described in another thread. When he reports back (and if successful), maybe you can try the same.

My RT is running 1.25.00.

Firmware Version: 1.20.01, Oct 20 2004

This is the RT31P2 firmware that is on the box.

Interesting. Ask VOIPo to upgrade you to 1.25.00. Maybe that'll help?

Will open another TT asking that. I just checked and I asked asked about a firmware back in September because I was having issues with the graphics in the TA not always showing up, and a 404 on one of help pages as well.

I believe that happens in 1.25.00 as well. There's a graphic of an image going horizontal that doesn't always show up. The QoS help throws a 404.

Well, support closed my ticket. Said there was no reason to upgrade. I have not had a chance to play with the nework setup on the device (Work and Kid commitments)... Maybe this weekend.
