This build is working fine on an Asus WL-500g Premium v1. I'm using it for PPPoE, WPA, WPA2, DHCP, DNS relay, 2x VPN server, file server w/ Samba&http, print sharing for 2 printers, MRTG and some other minor tasks. _________________ Q: How do I do ...? A: Read the tutorials or Search forums

To make samba working, did you nead extra software on router?

I've been trying for months to make Samba work on a WL-500W. I got it to work a printer server thought. I would like a little help with did as the wiki is not very helpful in this topics. Thanks.

Since this version TNG build 10108 has TCP Vegas enabled.. do we need to use QOS settings still or it does not matter?
Thanks.
Along that line - would even having standard DD-WRT QoS enabled cause problems with TCP_Vegas??
In addition, I have bandwidth throttleing (up and down) defined using the WRT Script Generator IP tables scripts - will this cause conflick/issues with Vegas??

There are reports in other threads that TCP_Vegas and QoS will work together.
I personally, don't use QoS any longer. I have no need for it...now that Vegas handles packet control. I no longer enable TCP_Vegas in the firewall. It is working correctly by default in 10108.

Yes, you need to install optware. See the wiki for details.

All I did was follow the Wiki... As long as you're trying to get samba2 to work, you should be fine. _________________ Q: How do I do ...? A: Read the tutorials or Search forums
I'm testing this build and it looks to have fixed all the previous bugs i had found and also works really well, however!!!, i cant seem to block p2p. Let me explain. if i use the access restrictions to block all p2p and select clients using either mac, ip or ip range it will block p2p, it works i hear you say... but then i enable UPnP and the filter access restrictions go to hell in a handbasket. The deny all access rule by time still works though.
So my question is.... can i not have access restrictions and UPnP enabled at the same time cos it seems to me that UPnP just overides the restrictions, shouldn't that be the other way round..?
P2P traffic cannot be blocked. The reason for that is protocol encryption, which prevents the P2P traffic from being detected.
Another reason is probably UPnP, which allows any host on the LAN to forward a random port to itself, thereby bypassing filters. To get around this, you'd have to prevent UPnP from certain hosts by using manual iptables rules. _________________ Q: How do I do ...? A: Read the tutorials or Search forums

I know this seems like a silly question but if P2P cannot be stopped then why have it as an option? secondly, i understand UPnP but why can't it check access restrictions before applying UPnP forwarding?
1. P2P protocol encryption is not mandatory (only some people use it). It appeared as a result of the kind of P2P blocking you're trying to achieve.
2. UPnP basically creates a port forward rule. Not sure that traffic is checked by the filters. It theoretically shouldn't be. _________________ Q: How do I do ...? A: Read the tutorials or Search forums
So does anyone know if this firmware will work with WRT160N?
Many thanks!
Yes, this, and all future releases (barring unforeseen problems) will be compatible with the WRT160N. Also, these are not beta builds; they are bugfix builds. _________________ WRT54G v3 - v24 r14471M NEWD Eko - AP
WRT350N v1.0
WRT600N v1.1 - halfway there!
