I just got what I had thought was a more or less nice access point
(linksys befw11s4) but it hates me. Well, I suspose it's more along
the lines of taunting me.
I know it works because I can get to the outside (with difficulty, but
it's a firewall issue that I'm not going to argue with at the moment)
on a wireless connection. So I've at least got it partly
configured....
The problem is that the happy user guide says 'type in
http://192.168.1.1/ and have configuration goodness'. Well, thereby
hangs the tail. When booted to linux, it just will *not* see that
address from a browser. Talking to it by hand via the lowest common
demoniator broser (telnet) gives similar results. nmap says '80/tcp
open http'. Ping is happy. iptables are wide open.
In desparation, I went to the dark side... whamo! it worked.
I feel unclean.
If it had been doing NTLM or something I could have said, ok, that's
the reason, as much as I would dislike it. But even the bloody faq
says that linux will work to configure it b/c it's a pure web app.
Anybody got a bar of soap (aka clue) to scrub the windows crud offa
me?
Please?
firmware 1.45.1, June 2003 (newer than released on website afaict).
