First attempt to extend wireless to my step-father's house interrruptedYou need to enable remote administration (this is access via the WAN port) and tell it to respond to unsolicited ping requests on the WAN port.
when our house hit by lightning and a lot of eqpt damaged.
Now I have bought a second WRT54GL but still retain OEM firmware.
I have set it to fixed IP .1.103 so it will not conflict with DHCP
devices on the existing home network.
PROBLEM: I can address the WRT54 when I plug my pc directly
into the LAN port on the WRT54, but not when I connect the WRT54
to my home network (based on a router at 192.168.1.1). It just
doesn't reply when I ping it, and of course I cannot go in to reconfigure
it remotely. I can't even ping it when I connect my pc directly to
its WAN port (using pc fixed ip address at .1.105).
What must I do to be able to access the device from its WAN port?
Tks for all helpNo problem!
