setting up a usb server through router (tomato)

[wtfbbq]

I have an asus router with a usb port that I flashed with tomato 1.25 USB Lite. When I plug in the printer, it is viewable as an attached device, but it is blank under the "Mounted?" column. I can't figure out how to print with it.

I have tried connecting to it through 192.168.1.1/9100, tried adding that as one of the printer's port (via tcp), and it just does not seem to work. does anyone have any experience with this?

thanks!

did you install the 9100something package?

ssh/telnet into the router and see if the port is listening on port 9100

what is the 9100something package?

also, I have never done ssh/telnet stuff, is there some sort of tutorial to check if it's listening to that port?

Yeah you are the victim to the prevalent phenomenon: " I do not about helping, I just want to show how smart I am".

yes indeed. so what if i didn't look up the package name? It honestly pains me to even think about the mess I had to go through to get everything installed. I forgot most of the steps already. I will say that that I typed up a step by step but a abondoned it halfway because I couldn't find my original source as I remembered it.

wtfbbq: I think the 520GU (edit: oh wait, you didn't say that router... which one do you have?) loses its usb capabilities with tomato.. that's what i've been led to believe from the tomato site.

to telnet, download putty.exe, type IP into the host field and connect, username is "root" (for ddwrt at least) and pw is whatever you set

the command to see listening ports is netstat -an

Yeah, I have the 520gu

I installed the special USB tomato mod from http://www.linksysinfo.org/for...showthread.php?t=60185 and some people have had success with printers / NAS although many people also have the problem that I do

also forgot to note, I installed the lite version without samba (so NAS won't work ??)
