I installed the lasted neorouter tomato 1.28 router in a box
router is linksys wrtg54gs
The installation went fine.

jffs is enabled and mounted.

I telnet into the router and cd /usr/bin
and run nserver
it displayed error 0x80810017
I read a reply in the forum indicating this might be a cert issue
so I entered:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3650 -nodes -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.crt -config openssl.cnf
It starts doing it thing but dies

This resulted in server.key read-only File system
error:0200101E system library:fopen:Read-only file system:bss_file.c:245:fopen(server)

top - indicates lots of memory but nrserver not running..

Any help would be much appreciated
thanks

hi joeman,

On Tomato, the cert files should be output to /jffs/, because it is the only writable location. Try the following command:

How much flash memory does your wrt54gs have? Our early releases can fit in 4MB. But in recent years both Tomato and NeoRouter have grown in size, you may need 8MB. I suspect this may be the issue you are seeing. You can use df command to find out the available space. OpenWRT + NeoRouter should always work on 4MB devices.

Thanks,
Luke

I entered the new command and rebooted - all is working fine
I installed neoclient and configured the neorouter

The df command reported only 15 % used /jffs

Now to see if i can make it all work

I setup 3 pcs
and they now have a virtual network
10.8.0.2
10.8.0.3
10.8.0.4
and network explorer on each pc see each other.

I also port forwarded the 192.168.2 32976(neorouter) on my main router 192.168.1.1

The neoserver
port shows 32976
dhcp - 10.8.0.0
mask 255.255.0.0
----------------------------------------------------------
THE REAL WORLD TEST

I have setup an hfs server which is on 10.8.0.4:8000. It is set to respond only to incoming on 10.8.0.4:8000
When i use a local pc browser to connect to it using 10.8.0.4, the server responds.

I had a friend run neorouter portable client on his pc , he was able to connect and see the other computers.
However, when he used a browser with http://10.8.0.4:8000 (my hfs file server, it timed out.
The only hardwired ethernet connection on my neorouter (192.168.1.2) is the connection to the main router(192.168.1.1) which is connected to the internet.
Did Port forward for 192.168.1.2 :32976(neorouter) on my main router 192.168.1.1

Any idea what might be wrong?


Thanks for the quick reply!!

Hi joeman,

What browser are you using? Firefox is highly recommended. The new IE (9+) and Chrome would not work with NR Portable anymore, though the old versions may still work.

Note:
The applications (browsers) must be launched from NR portable as an add-on, so that NR portable can route the traffic to the NeoRouter virtual network.

Take Firefox as an example, you can follow the steps below:
1.Close all FireFox instances
2.Run NR Portable, choose menu item File>>Add-ons.. to prompt the add-on manager dialog box.
3.Open File Explorer and go to the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" and drag and drop the firefox.exe on to the dialog box to create a new add-on.
4.Right click on your remote computer, the quick launch bar shows, click on the FF add-on you just created
5.Type your URL http://10.8.0.4:8000 in the address bar to access your remote computer

Let us know if you still have problem.

Thanks,

KevinZ,

I had my friend run up the portable windows version and add firefox as an add-on.... He was now able to connect to the HFS 10.8.0.4
------------------------------------------------------------------
Connecting / Disconnect: - portable version

The only problem was he was constantly connecting / disconnecting.
We decided to install the full free client version and that got rid of the problem.

1. I was wondering if there might be something we could try to stop the disconnect problem on the portable version?
------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Also, I would like to use it on a usb stick and keep my settings/ addons, is there a method to do this? -- would be nice to be able to plug in a usb stick and keep the add-ons.....

3. Can one add firefox as an add-on and have it automatically go to a specific url?


Thanks again for your support....

Hi joeman,

1.Did you run two instances of NR client/portable on the same computer? If multiple NR client or portable instances run and connect to the same server in the same time, they would conflict each other and disconnect from the server, re-connect, sign in , kick off the other one on the same machine, so on.

2.Use the tool in the NR portable zip file to generate the config files for USB usage and copy those files to the USB drive. Once you plugin the USB drive, it will ask you to run automatically.

3.Yes. FF support the command line and you can specify the URL. In the NR add-on definition, you can change the "command" field and append the URL you need, then save.

Thanks,

Looks like i was running two copies, just like you mentioned.
Working ok now

All is looking good, putting it thru its paces to see how it all performs


thanks
