WRT54G v8: Unable to change some settings via the browser interface

I have a WRT54G V8 router which I'm trying to set up as a wireless access point.
I purchased it some time ago and flashed the firmware to version 8.00.2. I see there
is a newer firmware version available, and I'm going to try flashing that to see if it
helps, but wanted to ask here first.
The problem is that when I connect to the router using a web browser, I can see
the administration pages, and even change most settings, but some settings
just snap back to their previous values.
For example, I go to Setup -> Advanced Routing, and change Operating Mode
from Gateway to Router. When I do, I see it changes to Router, then I see it
talking to the HTTP server, and then it changes back to Gateway.
This also happens in other areas, like trying to enable MAC address filtering -
it won't let me enable it, and the Security Mode setting (under Wireless -> Wireless
Security) - It won't let me select WPA2 Personal, among others.
Note that I've had this router for a while, but decided to change how it was configured
today, so I started by pressing and holding the reset button for >5sec to reset it to
factory defaults and went from there.
I'm assuming there must be some settings which are preventing these from taking,
but I can't imagine any setting which should prevent me from enabling the MAC
address filtering.
Just in case this matters, I have the router connected to my in-home network using
one of the 4 Ethernet ports, and don't have anything plugged into the Internet port.
Also, I have turned off the DHCP server, and assigned a static IP address to the
router. This is the IP I'm using to connect to the router's administrative pages via
a browser running on one of the other PCs on my in-home network.
The wireless access point is working, in that I can connect to my in-home network
with my wireless client (laptop). 
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

Thanks, Yes, I did reset the router. Just to clarify:
- I was having the problem where making changes to some settings would cause the settings to revert back to the original settings. In fact, the settings would switch back before I would have a chance to click on the Save Settings button. Clicking on the button after the settings changed back, of course, saved the original setting. For example, I would click on a drop-down control to change a setting, see the browser communicate with the HTTP server, then the drop-down would just snap back to the original value. It wouldn't allow me to change it to a different value.
- I reset the router, including holding the reset button for >5 seconds to force a full-reset. This didn't help.
- I attempted to update the firmware with the latest version for my router (yes, I double-checked that I had the correct version for my router/version). This failed with a strange message and required that I do another reset of the router.
It was after this failed attempt at the update that the problem went away. Now, I am able to change these particular settings and the changes stick.
At this point, I updated the firmware to the latest version and it worked. After this, I am still able to make all the necessary setting changes and the router is performing as I need.
Thanks for all the help,

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does not then the problem lies with your original library.
    If that's the case try the following on your original library:
    If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Commadn+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.

    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I updated the kmp player a few days before. It changes some settings on my firefox

    I updated the kmp player a few days before. I believe that It changes some settings on my firefox or more.
    It changed my home page. Also, every time I reopen firefox, it cannot show my windows and tabs from last time.
    Then I removed or stopped using the plug-ins in firefox (one of them is npAPI) that installed that day, changed the setting back to what I want.
    I can then get the home page back, but the problem that I cannot get my previous tabs when I open firefox back still exists.
    I have updated firefox to 25.0 today.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Unable to apply connection settings. The detailed error message is: 'NoCount' is not a recognized option

    My corporate database wizards have created a login for my small subsidiary to use to read selected data from the HR database.  It's meant to be used by an SSIS package to bring over data on who's a current employee and who's not.  
    The package has started returning connection errors, and when I try to log into the HR database via SSMS using this login I get the following message:  
    "Unable to apply connection settings.  The detailed error message is" 'NoCount' is not a recognized option."  
    If I click on OK I can still log in, but it looks like this error is causing SSIS to produce an error.  I've seen articles on vaguely similar errors logging onto an Azure database, but this one's on SQL Server 2012.  
    Anybody got any ideas?  Is there something I can change at my end, or is it a change that has to be made in the remote DB?  

    I'm getting confused seeing this

    Enabling Oracle Management Service to Access My Oracle Support
    Unless online access to the Internet is strictly forbidden in your environment, Oracle Management Service should be enabled to access My Oracle Support. This access is necessary to enable updates and patches to be downloaded, for example.
    At minimum, the following URLs should be made available through the firewall:
    aru-akam.oracle.com
    ccr.oracle.com
    login.oracle.com
    support.oracle.com
    updates.oracle.com
    About the dontProxyfor Property
    When you configure the Oracle Management Service or a Management Agent to use a proxy server, it is important to understand the purpose of the dontProxyFor property, which identifies specific URL domains for which the proxy will not be used.
    For example, suppose the following were true:
    You have installed the Oracle Management Service and several Management Agents on hosts that are inside the company firewall. These hosts are in the internal .example.com and .example.us.com domains.
    You have installed several additional Management Agents on hosts that are outside the firewall. These hosts are installed in the .example.uk domain.
    You have configured Enterprise Manager to automatically check for critical software patches on My Oracle Support.
    In this scenario, you want the Oracle Management Service to connect directly to the Management Agents inside the firewall without using the proxy server. On the other hand, you want the Oracle Management Service to use the proxy server to contact the Management Agents outside the firewall, as well as the My Oracle Support site, which resides at the following URL:
    http://support.oracle.com
    The following properties will prevent the Oracle Management Service from using the proxy server for connections to the Management Agents inside the firewall. Connections to My Oracle Support and to Management Agents outside the firewall will be routed through the proxy server:
    proxyHost=proxy42.example.com
    proxyHost=80
    dontProxyFor=.example.com, .example.us.com
    PS: Cygwin has nothing to do with My Oracle Support connection. Cygwin is ONLY required for agent deployment using agent push from OMS.

  • Changing Parameter Settings in the NWA - MobileEngine.Config

    Hi All,
    When I make changes in settings for a certain Parameterset in the
    Netweaver Administrator (NWA), not all value's of the parametersetting
    s are changed in de MobileEngine.Config after a sync.
    Middleware SP18
    MobileClient: MI2.5 SP18 Patch 1
    Which settings are changing and which are not and what is the reason of
    this?
    Steps for the Reconstruction 
    As an example I tested this for the timezone setting.
    I changed the value of the timezone setting in the NWA. After a sync
    this setting was NOT changed in MobileEngine.Config on the mobile
    device.
    If I do this for the setting:MI.Sync.ProtocolVersion the value changes
    after a modification in the NWA and after a sync on the mobile device.

    Once you have made the changes are you stopping and restarting the Mobile Engine for the settings to take effect?
    Some settings need the Java engine to be restarted, where as some don't.
    This might be why some take effect and others don't.
    On further investigation, Mobile Infrastructure is integrated into NW2004s.

    is there aoss on an airport extreme? I thought there was some way via the Airport Utility.

    Nothing called "aoss" is on an AirPort Extreme.
    Using the Add Wireless Clients feature under the Base Station menu (top of screen) in AirPort Utility - Manual Setup, there are provisions to add a new wireless client using a PIN or allowing the device to connect on "First Attempt".
    Whether this is compatible with "aoss", I cannot say. Please let us know about your findings if you try this.

  • Flash Player 9 + Firefox / Internet Explorer and Proxyserver Settings inside the Browser

    Dear Adobe,
    according to this document from your Website:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/firewalls_proxy04.html
    which says:
    "When running within a browser, Macromedia Flash Player uses
    the browser's HTTP services to communicate through RTMPT. Since
    browsers also support SSL, why not add in support for secure
    encrypted HTTPS tunneling? That is exactly what Macromedia did. You
    can request an HTTPS tunnel using a third protocol: RTMPS."
    it should be so, that the Flash Player (up to the latest
    release) that for the RTMPT mode the player should use the http
    methods of the browser.
    Using the http methods of the browser means, that it should
    honour also the Proxy Server Settings of the Browser (it doesn't
    matter if that is firefox or internet explorer).
    We tested that with our own application, but it looks like,
    that flash player in rtmtp net connection mode doesn't honour the
    browser settings or using the http browser methods.
    It looks more like that, that it creates a self made tcp
    socket connection to the fms server, which is correct when you are
    not using rtmpt, but according to your documentation, it's not.
    Please advice me, how to reach a FMS via a simple (i.e.
    Squid) Proxy on port (i.e.) 8080 which is being set in the browsers
    settings.
    And I don't think the Flash Player is just for private
    customers who are using the internet without any proxies.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help and your
    answers...
    If you don't want to reveal the secret, please write me via
    my personal email which you can get from my profile.
    Thx,

    up in a debugger and look for a non-MMX code path and see if I can
    patch one to work.
    I thought of "back-reving" to the latest Flash 7 player to
    see if the issue goes away but I have yet to do that.
    Good luck looking for a non-MMX code path hidden upstream of
    the offending MMX instruction.
    Going back to Flash 7 is relatively easy and you will
    suddenly be able to visit places you haven't been in years, but
    there are still some sites that will block you unless you have
    Flash player 8 or 9.
    First use the Adobe uninstaller to clean up which is found
    at .
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157
    Then find a copy of :
    flashplayer7r61_winax.exe
    and run it. That will give you the latest Flash 7.

    Hi 
    Are there some who know how to create users via the CLI interface on a SX20. You can do this via the web interface but I have many video installations where I need to create a user account. Therefore, it would be easiest if I can make it through the CLI interface. 
    Best regards

    Unless there's a very well hidden command somewhere, then no. As far as I know, this can only be done for the remote supportuser account;

    I downloaded iBooks Author in Italy so the interface is in Italian.  I want to change to English for the entire interface?

    You would have to re download iBooks Author from the U.S. App Store. Launch the App Store then click the round flag icon bottom right side of the window. Select United States
    The issue with this is that your billing credentials (regardless of whether or not it's a free or paid app) must be associated with the same country where you reside. So you may not be able to re download iBooks Author in English.
    Post your topic in the iBooks Author community here.
    More iBooks Author users can offer feedback that way and may know of a work around.

  • Payload via the message interface

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to get the payload/log information for the XI message from the table SXMSPMAST via the message interface name ?
    Thanks for your help

    Nope.
    But you can get details from table SXMSPEMAS. I think best would be you can create a view with join on MSGGUID with SXMSPMAST and then you can filter records base on messsage interface name. Field "OB_NAME / IB_NAME" from table  SXMSPEMAS indicate outputbound / inbound  interface name respectively.
    You can find all othe fields here.. Interface Namespace, Communication Party..so on.
    Hope this will help.
