So are you saying you have one or more of these, and you *can* talk  
on the LAN?

Are you doing anything special?

That's useful. I didn't know there's a command line interface.

Funnily enough, when I telnet to the router, it hangs around for a  
few seconds before getting to a prompt. I'm certain that's it trying  
to decide where 192.168.0.1 is.

Okay, I get that. This is explained on p108.

Basically, what needs to happen is that the WAN's external and  
internal facing ports should be on one VLAN, and the LAN ports incl..  
wireless need to be on another VLAN; then both VLANs should be placed  
in the same inter-VLAN routing group. As the manual says, this  
"effectively is similar to the default configuration without any VLANs".

And indeed, routing from one machine to another is still broken. :-(

I have two machines: 192.168.0.65, and .67 with a 24 bit netmask.

On .67:
ping 192.168.0.65 works
traceroute -I 192.168.0.65 does not work
	(-I is "use ICMP rather than udp" -- that might be a BSD thing, I'm  
using Macs)
ssh 192.168.0.65 doesn't work

But hey -- I might be trying too hard. I tried sharing via AFP, and  
it works! WTF!? Now I have no doubt that sharing over Samba would  
work too.

For the LAN, it looks like certain things are being blocked -- or  
maybe everything blocked and some things allowed -- the most likely  
things.


No ssh, but I've got a method for copying files around.

I'm going to have to live without ssh, because Qwest has no idea. The  
one time they pushed me over to a Motorola guy, he said all they do  
is help configure Internet and Wireless, and not LAN -- even though  
the thing *should be* capable of routing udp and tcp across the LAN.

Really frustrating.

Didn't make any difference.


The lesson I've learned is: get the modem from the ISP, and buy your  
own wireless router. And forget Motorola. I'm going to see about a  
refund so I can afford that... After all, they broke *my* 2-wire  
router with a nonfunctional firmware push.


Thanks for the help though Angus.

Rich.
