WRT54GS and DSL: how to keep it disconnected

Hi, I have a DSL link that I pay per use and I would like to keep it disconnected until I need it for the Internet access or email. Is there a parameter I can set on the router to have it working in that way? Do I have to stop some service on the computer (Win Vista Home Premium) to avoid any connection request if not manually required? Thank you very much for your help, best regards, Massimo

Log into the router's UI, on the Setup tab there should be two options something to the effect of On Demand and Keep Alive.  Enable On Demand and set the time. On Demand will time out after the set time and should re-establish the connect when you use it. Keep Alive is continuously on. I have mine on Keep Alive so I don't know how effective On Demand is.

  • Problem with WRT54G and DSL NAT router

    I have a WRT54G connected to a Westell DSL NAT router. I would like to be able to allow incoming connections to my FreeBSD server.
    The Westell router allows me to set IP Passthrough (they call it "Single Static IP"). This gives the WRT54G the outside IP address given to the DSL router. I can then set up the WRT54G for DDNS and port forwarding to forward specific ports I want to my server.
    This works, for about 2-3 days. Then, I start to randomly lose outside connectivity. Web pages start coming up with missing elements, or taking a long time to load. This will eventually lead to total loss of outgoing communication.
    Normally, I would blame this on the Westell NAT router, but as I'm losing connectivity to the internet, I'm also losing connectivity to the WRT54G. It will try to load configuration pages but will be slow with missing elements, etc.
    All communications between computers on my inside network continue to function properly, it's just connectivity to the WRT54G and the internet that seem to start to fail.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I just upgraded the firmware on the WRT54G from 1.01.1 to 1.02.0, but I don't imagine this will help.
    Thanks,

    Try setting the MTU to manual and change the value to 1450

    I'm working on a project that will have 2 different versions of a book (multiple docs in a book container).  The two versions will be very similar, except there will be some differences in the text, and one of the books will also have some documents not included.
    I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize this project.  If we create two different sets of documents, then whenever we need to make a general change, we have to do it two times in both sets of documents, potentially doubling our work.  If we have one set of documents, then we could create two layers in those documents for the difference in text, but then we'll have issues building the book because the pagination is different between the two books, and we'll have to remember to enable the correct layers in the individual documents.
    Has anyone had experience with a situation like this, or do you have advice about how we might manage this?
    Thanks.
    Have you looked at conditional text?
    The different pagination between versions is always going to be an issue if text flows differ. You might handle this with paragraph heading styles that start at the top of a page, to "resynchronize" the starts of portions of the documents; however, this can leave awkward empty spaces. If you just meant that repagination would be necessary to account for missing or present chapter files or portions of content, automatic page numbering takes care of itself.
    You will have to remember to turn on/off a particular condition or set.
    For details, Search Google for terms like "InDesign conditional text tutorial" without quotes.

  • Curves in UIScrollView and zoom : how to keep the width ?

    Dear all,
    I have a very simple issue. I successfully implemented a UIScrollView with a Bezier Curve, and the zoom is also working fine. (I'm also using a CATiledLayer to improve the final render. But it's optional for this issue...)
    The point is the following : if I zoom in, the width of the curve will be increased (original width * Zoom). So, to keep a good width at the screen, I reduce dynamically the width (CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 1.0/scale)).
    This methods works but... I have the deep feeling that it's not the best solution. Because if I zoom in a lot (like 10x), the curbe became darker (because the width becomes 1/10...)
    So, is it possible to keep the width of the Curve of 1px without modifying the width manually ? (like in the bloomberg application, for instance...)
    Thanks a lot for your tips !

    Since I see that nobody really seems understanding... my question can be summarized by this :
    Is it possible to define a curve width zoom independent ?

  • Lightroom and Infrared:how to keep camera image

    Now that I;m hooked on Infrared and have a Canon XT and a couple of older Canon Point & Shoot converted to IR, I would love to see th same cumtom WB image that I see on the back of the camera. I've started capturing in both RAW +JPG in hopes the jpg will show the settings. I'm importing to show as separate files.
    Is there a way to keep LR from changing the bluish tone of a 590 nm supercolor IR sensor image to magenta?
    Is there a filter or preset or develop setting I can use to just maintain the original color quality of the JPG?

    can anyone else chime in, I just want to view either my raw or jpgs as they look in jpg preview on back of camera, i know it will not be exact, but got the camera converted to Super Color so I wouldn't have to use PS extensively?

  • WIreless Router WRT54GS and DSL Modem

    I'm going fo a week of trying without any success in configuring my wireless net at home. The modem is ok, configured by my ISP and gives me Internet easily when I attach the cable diretcly to my notebook. However, when I put the Linksys router in between it never works, neither wired, nor wireless.
    I've tried a lot of things, including change the modem from router to bridge (when I turned it to bridge it never worked, forcing me to go back to the routing mode). So, the modem is already doing the authentication, it's configured as PPPoe. What I need is to make the Router only do the job of transmit is wirelessly, and that is what I'm not achieving.
    note: My OS is Windows XP and the router lights it all normally when connected. I even see the wireless network broadcasted with the name I chose and excellent signal, but even if I succeed in conecting to it, I can't navigate at all.
    note 2: I've tried the Linksys CD and the Easy Link Advisor, and both failed before completing the installation. The Easy link couldn't see the modem. The cd always stopped while trying to configure or to acess the Internet.
    I beg for someone to solve this cause for the first time in my life I'm considering pay for some tech to resolve this.

    well, can u pls tell who is ur isp??
    try to config the router manually instead of using cd---reset router---open setup page---check Internet IP Address in Status page
    if ip: 192.168.x.x, then, in the WRT54GS, local page change the local ip to: 192.168.2.1---power cycle entire n/w---this should work
    pls check this 1st, and let us know---we can proceed further from there

  • How to keep mails synchronized between two systems?

    Hello,
    I have a home iMac and will soon need to have a portable for occasions when I'm away from home.
    I suppose it would be easy to ensure identical environments by booting the portable system on a clone of the system disk of the home iMac.
    However, the next question is: how to keep the two systems synchronized and, especially, how to keep the mails stored on the two systems synchronized? I'm looking for a solution for this problem. What are the options offered by Mountain Lion to do this?
    Thanks for any hints or tips,
    Denis.

    Although not free, perhaps this program might do what you want.

  • TS1398 Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I kkep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Is this happening with one particular network or with all?  Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • WRT54GS keeps on disconnecting

    I have had a Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GS connected to my cable modem for over a year now and I havent had any issues until now..
    My desktop computer is also connected through this router but mainly i use the laptop and although the desktop seems unaffected, the wireless connection on my laptop keeps on disconnecting and then reconnecting almost immediately at very frequent intervals.. i had my laptop checked and everything works fine..
    does anyone have any idea why the router could be behaving the way it is and how to fix that in not too techie terms/ways?
    help will be highly appreciated..
    Message Edited by FroZeN on 09-17-2006 05:51 PM

    I bought a wrt54gs also a week ago and the unit keeps on freezing also. One minute i am online and a few minutes later, i could not get through even to 192.168.1.1 . Then i have to power down and power up the router and it is okay again for a few minutes. Guessing that perhaps it is a software bug in the router, i started disabling all the unnecessary functions like qos and log. After doing this the unit has become more stable, but it still freezes once in a while ( every few days ). Please advise if this works for you.

  • ITunes slow, "Do not disconnect" and freezing - how I fixed it

    Ok, I don't know how many people this might help but I thought I would post how I managed to fix my iTunes.
    I was experiencing various problems. Firstly, when starting up iTunes it would just give hourglass, stop, then boot up the program 1 minute later. Any action I did would cause the program to freeze for a while before it started the action I asked it to. The iPod would also never eject and would stick on "Do Not Disconnect". Any CD's I inserted would cause it to freeze. Sometimes iTunes wouldn't recognize that the iPod was inserted. It also consumed 100% of my CPU resources ALL the time, and would occasionally force me to reboot. Rebooting with iPod inserted would cause my PC to stick at the Mobo manufacturer screen and wouldn't boot at all until iPod was removed...
    The list of things that made it not work is endless...
    This fix is pretty simple, although it might not work for all. There seems to be a problem with the path letter assigned to the iPod when it is connected. If, like me you run your system boot on a path other than "C" and have no other drives attached to "C" then when you insert the iPod it will default the HD it creates to "C" - iTunes does not like this - your PC does not like this - Windows doesn't like it either! So, you could change it's path to something else but then every time you connect your iPod it will keep defaulting to "C".
    So, you need to create a HD of sorts and assign it to "C" so that the iPod can never obtain that path when it's connected each time. Either create a small partition of an existing HD or install something like Daemon Tools and assign it's virtual drive to take up the "C" path.
    As soon as I did this everything runs perfectly. No freezing whatsoever, iTunes works perfectly, no freezing ever, ejecting and inserting my iPod and CD's works fine. In fact, it all works fine!
    I hope this might help at least a few people who are suffering with not being able to run their iPod Nano.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
    Still no joy? See these.

    I downloaded pictures onto my iPhone from computer twice by mistake now when i uncheck/sync then check and sync again  i keep getting two lots of pics..how can i get just the one set again? thnx

    You're welcome.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
    Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
    The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

  • How to keep all text and formats the same on multiple computers?

    I'm creating a file in InDesign CS6 on my Windows computer. I keep everything on my flash drive. When I go to school, I bring my flash drive with me and open it up on the Mac computer, but then there are are compatibility issues. There seems to be missing fonts and formats but the school uses the same version of InDesign I do. Now I was told a lot of things of how to keep the fonts and formats the same (embed the links, package the files, outline the text, save as IDML). However, it is not clear to me what each of those options do, so I don't know when or why to use them. So I just want to make sure that when I bring in my file in next Monday, I won't have any missing fonts or formats. What would you suggest is the proper things to do to keep everything the same on multiple computers? And could you please explain why?

    If you want cross-paltform comaptibility limit the fonts to OpenType or Windows TrueType formats, both of which work on both Mac and PC. To avoid missing font warnings the fonts must either be installed on each computer, or they must be in a folder named Document Fonts in the same location as the .indd file they are to work with. Packaging the file will build taht folder for you.
    the rest of the stuff in your list won't help you. .idml would allow you to open on an older version, but does nothing for your situation. Embedding the links will keep you from having missing links, but so will packaging, and embedded links will make the file much larger and harder to work with.
    For goodness sake, don't even think about outlining the text. It stops being text when you do that and you can no longer edit it.
    And finally. do yourself a big favor and don't attempt to actually work on your file directly from the flash drive. Copy the whole package folder to the hard drive, work on it, then copy back. You don't want to know how many files are fatally damaged by write errors on flash drives.
