as above really.

I have 3G net access in my new van and have it setup to route back to a server in teh workshop (it accesses a Quickbooks DB.) problem is this: marc (revhead) and myself cannot work out how to get through this DSL modem/router.

unit is a dynalink RTA100+.

the whole idea of this is to be able to invoice whilst I'm out and about and the wife have access to the books during the day (takes the load off me at night.) and be able to use it at the workshop as well with out ripping a PC out of the van to do it. (which I used to do daily.)

help! ($$ or booze supplied :laugh: )

RTFM......

What in particular are you having problems with? Are you trying to setup a VPN?

did that. it make little sense to me and marc had issues as well.

we can see the data inbound on it but cannot forward it to the appropriate spot so it comes out and hits the server.

are you not able to route through the router to the destination on the server?

correct. the whole issue lies with port forwarding.

basically I'm looking for someone to come over and get it going for me.

Dynalink RTA100 is a pig of a router.

I cannot remember what configuration options they have anymore.

From what I gather you have the RTA100 at the workshop where your server is

If this is correct, do you have the computer at the workshop on a static IP?

If you do, what software are you using to remotely connect to said remote computer?

Depending on what software you have chosen, have you setup the relevant port forwards on the RTA100 to point to the remote computer?

PM me if you are completely stuck.

correct. server is beside it. runs windows 2k3 server. I have a locked IP-first thing I did. remote PC accesses it via XPhome remote desktop. so from that end its a case of connecting to the 3G service and putting the IP and port in and hitting connect. I can do this and we saw the inbound data packets coming in a few at a time before it fell over and died.

would like to chat via phone if I could.

most of that looks familiar. the last few steps do not. we did get a reboot message though.

I'll have to go set the van up and have a fiddle.

MR benno,

still would like to have a chat.

Have you configured your PC (the one accepting incoming connections) with a fixed LAN IP address?

It should be a simple process of forwarding the appropriate port/s to the IP assigned to the local machine.

just looked at the static IP part. I have two. one for the physical internet addy and the one behind the router. so that part is correct.

keep in mind the other machine is on a 3g wireless network and not physically connected to this server.

I send all day working via a VPN, remote desktop (terminal server) and Citrix... have also used pcAnywhere and a number of other remote pc/connection apps. I'm not an expert, but PM me if you are still stuck.

one question, are you intending to print (invoices, etc) from/in your van? If your accounting software is back on your server at home, printing can be a real pain in the ass!! but there are a few tricks, etc. happy to help if needed. pm or sms me.

Dude I work at AAPT and have an emulator sitting RIGHT in front of me for the RTA100+ you should be able to access the modem interface screen using the IP address:

192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 and then log in using the administrator details:

Username: admin

Password: admin

Unless you've set it to something else.

From the start page which by default should be quick configuration, purple background your gonna see a bunch of tabs up top.

Go to services then choose the sub heading Blocked Protocols, make sure nothing is blocked. Then click on IP filters, add a filter to allow information for inbound and outbound data on whatever port you have setup.

Then click on firewall and disable it, the firewall in these things is a f**king piece of shit, get some form of software based firewall for protection, piss all the onboard stuff off setup a dedicated port forward and make sure nothing is blocked you should have no dramas.

If you have done all that and still have trouble hit me up via PM i got endless documentation on these things and have worked with them for like 2 - 3 years, they are a sack of shit to be honest, do yourself a favour and grab a decent DSL modem/router, will solve so many issues.

ta. you may hear from me tonight.

I know about the printing thing. already locked up one printer and had to reboot the server when I did it.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
