    Network Card Name change from Dell

    Thanks for that. Although too bad it sees inaccessible to the device it's self. Still might be nice to label all the devices I have. Lights, nest, iptv, iP phone cameras and more.

    Network Card Name change from Dell

    I'm sorry but unless I'm mistaken this is not right and does not work. This is for adding or removing from a domain and for giving the computer a name. This will not change the name that the router sees. Indeed the name here is correct in my comptuer. eg Sales_1. If I could get the router to...

    Network Card Name change from Dell

    When I go into my asus router (DDWRT may be the same) for example and look up the connected computers my dell computers just show up as DELL with the Mac address. Sure I can find computers just using mac address but is there some place, maybe in the registry that I can change this default "DELL"...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    By the way your ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. This could be SOOOO much easier. Over the years so much boggles the mind in this field, this will be added to the list. Even if Openvpn, did it. Why? why? why? It will go down with the mysteries of who build the pyramids I guess.

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Well reading your comments you were not wrong, in that I'm confused. I think however with perseverance, (I hope) I can get it right. It seems like I'm always doing something that is a little off the norm. And when you know very little about this field, eg OpenVPN its easy to get mixed up with...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Thanks for your answer, I laughed when I saw your post, really, I mean no offence. Your right of course , But now you know the predicament I'm in. I'm determined to get some understanding of this, as I know once I do I will most likely generally grasp it. I'm reading FAQ's from in the download...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    I have successfully downloaded EasyRSA-3.0.8.zip and run the two commands: ./easyrsa init-pki ./easyrsa build-ca Now it says on the openvpn web site: ----------------------------------Snip Start ------------------- On each server system, generate a keypair and request. Normally these are...

    I tried installing open vpn on a computer to make certificate or what ever it is for client for ddwrt gui. But I then got errors on my computer when I try creating it. I've cant remember errors right now. Tried researching errors cant find answers. It all seems to take time. Regards.

    Static address ?

    Good tip

    Static address ?

    Well I have other things on that network also. I will read up on vlans. However just to show you what's happening. Some forwarding seems to be occurring from the 192.168.2.0 network to the 192.168.50.0 netw. See below when I ping the 50.1 netw. And the 192.168.1.0 network. Notice redirect...

    Static address ?

    Thanks for your reply. Yes there may ? be more to it in that I assume it's like throwing a ball, you can throw a ball but the person catching the ball must agree to catch it. Thats why I assume (perhaps erroneously) that both routers need some sort of settings changed (perhaps static routes on...

    Static address ?

    I have read a lot about setting up static addresses but still cant seem to get it to work. Can someone tell me what numbers to put in which router? I have a Triangle configuration, in other words at the top of the triangle I have the ISP's router that I can get into and can set up static...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Thanks all info is appreciated Oh and one more insult to injury. I go to best buy and ask what routers do you have that have vpn. The sales person didn't know, he went away and came back after asking someone. He said none!! I was shocked. He said they only have bit defender that they can...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Oddly linux is not really new to me. My path of learning was Xenux , Unix, then Windows, then Linux. But for example. I look up how to get OVPN going on ddwrt site and it says go to openvpn and see there how to install etc. so I go there and try to install the software, but then there are a...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    mm thanks. I slowly giving up on ddwrt. After a week of firmwaring the modem with helps that are poor, then going to the openvpn site again to find helps that are not clear, I'm slowly giving up. While not being a novice sorting though various version and helps that are sometime for one version...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    Thank you for your response. i have been trying to follow the instructions from that site, but the first question I have which I didn t see the answer to is. Do i have to "INSTALL" openvpn" complete package on my computer at home when I am not going to use this computer because OPENVPN, is...

    OpenVPN Server or Client

    I'm trying to get OVPN going on my home network to see my cameras. I assume that I just need to get the OVPN Server going on my DDWRT router, and that the Client goes on the, device connecting to the home network from outside. I know this may be a stupid question but some tutorials that talk...

    VPN and DDWRT setup

    It's a Lynksys WRT300n v1. The WEB says it's got 32MB of Ram. And 4 MB Flash. It is a Broadcom BCM4704 chipset. Now based on the article you provided normally I cant get openvpn for this router because it has only 4MB of ram BUT it also says unless it has broadcom then you CAN. I have not...

    VPN and DDWRT setup

    Well back in the day, routers from ISP's didnt come with wifi.and business one's still don't as you might put a firewall like a watchguard or something behind it. So I just never moved off that. May be I should ... that and my token ring :) It also made it easy for my location. That is, the...

    VPN and DDWRT setup

    Thanks for that I may look at that. The problem is that what got me into this whole mess was buying a camera on Amazon. I dont want to buy anything on amazon, but might be forced to. I do however really like the ddwrt software. I have used it before several times but never for VPN. I may have...

    VPN and DDWRT setup

    Thanks I have seen that. I'm not really happy about it, and am unclear how much of a threat it is. However I have tried and tried and tried to re flash my router with ddwrt VPN version from their DB that support openvpn but with no success. They also say OpenVPN is harder to set up, and Ive had...

    VPN and DDWRT setup

    Not sure how I solved it but I did. I flashed it again, the router and set up again. One important thing that I seem to have found out. For the pptp chap password you cannot use special characters. Use only AlphaNumaric Upper and Lower. I think my experiments show that things like #$! dont...

    VPN and DDWRT setup

    Ok I seem to have figured out what my problem was. It is that when you use windows 10 for example to vpn make sure that you in the set up of the vpn select pptp as the VPN type. It was set to automatic, but when I specifically told it what to use pptp it worked. So Now I have a second...
