Hello,

At: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/beta/X86/08-06-2007

there are 2 folders:
**** free;
**** registered;

==> What is the difference between them? What does "registered" mean?

And... is there a ISO image file to burn a CD and install in a x86 based computer?
If not... is there a tutorial/article that explain how to install DD-WRT on a x86 computer?

Thanks in advance and regards,

Thank you for fast reply and information.

My initial question:
a) free ==> 4K simultaneous connection and no wifi support;
b) registered (paid) ==> 64K simultaneous connections and wifi support.

==> Regarding .image file:
How can I use *.image file on my x86 computer?
Any link/tutorial/article to explain step by step?

Thank you!

Hi rkloost,

I went to the link you provided me... but I did not get the information that I need.

I wish:
1) How to use *.image downloaded file to install on my x86 computer.

In http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/down.php?path=downloads%2Fbeta%2FX86/

there is physdiskwrite.zip that is what you'll need to install on a clean harddisk I believe.

Searching the forum for 'install X86' all terms reveiled:

Hi rkloost,

THANK YOU.
The instructions seem to be straight.

The image file is what I was expecting to be. Use this file with linux "dd" command.

Thank you again,
Regards,

Hi rkloost,


Thank you again. You are very kind!

By the way... let me explain what I am looking for on DD-WRT x86:

My scenario:
1) a linux box with 3 interfaces: eth0, eth1, eth2.
2) eth0 ==> connected to WAN0 (an ADSL link)
eth1 ==> connected to WAN1 (another ADSL link/cable modem)
and... eth2 ==> connected to internal LOCAL LAN users;

What I wish and need:
a) I wish "load balancing" the traffic between eth0 and eth1;
b) to eth2 users... internal local users... I want to provide them internet access automatically.

** what I mean with automatically **
If the user has static IP configuration... and this IP does **NOT** belong to the eth2 subnet... and the gateway neither... even though this user is able to access the internet with **no changes** on its IP configuration, on his laptop.

Impossible?
No. It is feasible and it exists. Some solutions like MIKROTIK and MAXINA do this.
www.mikrotik.com (plug and play :: one-to-one NAT)
www.maxina.de

And there is a project called SHAT at sourceforge that do this. The author is Jordan but his is now busy on other occupations I guess, and that version on sourceforge has a bug. **BUT** I saw some "shatd" regarding DD-WRT.

Does the DD-WRT have the ability to provide access to the internet automatically as I described above?

Thank you.
