Just try the new Tecno-Cyber-Viewsat X-Fta image more easy than ever

[sal826]

still trying
I upgrade it with the file X-fta-xx-client-920-Techno-Cyber.trx ,do I have to set up anything else before I close gargoyle?

and when I try to login back in I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.2."
when I log in with winscp what file do I put in the "private key file"

You need to setup a temporary static connection on your laptop/desktop so you can connect to the XFTA Router. The Router will be on 192.168.0.2 so you need to hard code 192.168.0.1 into your laptop interface to make the connection.

When using winscp you will NOT add any files, you will just be using it to modify the .ini files which should already be there.

Thats right but don`t forget you also have to log in to gargoyle and join your main router so you can have internet connection
otherwise nothing will work

First things first. Are you seeing a link light on your interface so you know you actually have a layer 1 connection to that router?
Secondly, you may still have an old IP address stuck in that XFTA router. That hardware is really crap and you sometimes need to forcibly reset it a couple of times to get it to default settings. Press that reset button and hold it while you shut it down. Then when you power it up again you should hold the reset for a few seconds and release while it's booting up.

No Don't give up.

You obviously just have a connectivity issue between your laptop and XFTA router. I hate to state the obvious, but do you have a cat5 cable connected from your laptop directly to the XFTA and one of it's LAN ports (NOT the one WAN port)?

[ICU2]

I have a cat5 form laptop to XFTA not WAN, lan port 2
still no go sal826

ICU2,

If you now have the new image installed onto that XFTA router you will not see any sat info when logged in via a web session. You will only log into the web session to setup the router IP info to match your wireless network. To change the sat info you need to now log into the router via winSCP. You will find some .ini files which you will modify with your private server info. You're almost there.

Sorry I can't constantly update - I'm trying to post during a very small window of time after work.
