I just flashed the HSMM Software to an old WRT54G Router.  I was able to setup the Node, and can see Ad Hoc network on my laptop.  However, when I tried to access the Web Panel to use the device, I could not.  It is not responsive at localnode:8080, w4dtb-1:8080, 172.27.0.1 and I have tried ping (to see if it was the browser).

What should I try in order to connect to the web interface and how do I reset the thing back to the setup page?

Are you wired into the lan side of the node or are you trying to do all of this over wireless?

I am connected on my Laptop's LAN Connector to one of the ports on the back of the WRT54G.

If you're using Windows, make sure your DHCP lease isn't still the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx address from when you flashed the router with the new firmware.  I've had to manually refresh the IP address after loading the HSMM-MESH firmware before.

To check, open up the command prompt, execute an "ipconfig" command.  If it says your laptop's IP address is still a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx then execute an "ipconfig /release" and then an "ipconfig /renew" (all commands without the quotes).


Hope that helps,

Easiest way after flashing a router to a node is make sure your PC is in DHCP mode, then after the router starts rebooting, reboot the PC. There are other ways to re-grab the DHCP IP, if you look around on the site (like the STARTING-READ THIS FIRST and STEP-BY-STEP either PDF or PPT files)

Reacquiring a DHCP address can easily be done by simply unplugging your Ethernet cable (when you're "wired in"), waiting a few seconds, and then reattaching your cable. This should work for any OS on your PC. -Rusty-

"It is not responsive at localnode:8080, w4dtb-1:8080, 172.27.0.1" Did you try 172.27.0.1:8080 in the browser? I just set one up for the first time, and "localnode" didn't resolve for "localnode:8080" (I didn't go through the windows steps to add the DNS search path), but 172.27.0.1:8080 worked (as expected) just fine.
