Re: [ts-7000] NSF mount on LAN with router at 192.168.2.1 (not 192.168.0.1)??

Bob,

I don't have a wifibox-2, so treat the following accordingly.

First, it's easier to find this device in Google if it's punctuated properly: wifibox-2

The example mount command you are looking at goes in the wrong direction for

what you are trying to do. It assumes that you have a NFS server somewhere, which

is exporting a "drive" called tsarm-nfsroot and the command allows the wifibox to

access that "drive". Your router probably is not supplying this service.

If you are sure that you know the file name of the IP configuration file, you can use

the find command from telnet. Google "man find". Something like

find / -name ifcfg-eth0

Since you are using a Debian distribution, you could do some research on how

Debian distributions handle startup configuration. Sorry, I'm not a Debian expert.

I can now telnet to my WiFi-box2 by changing its IP address to 192.168.2.50, to be visible on our LAN. The trick now is to make this change permanent on the WiFi-box2.

To do this, it appears I must edit /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0. The problem is there is no /etc/sysconfig on my WiFi-box2. Perhaps there is a ifcfg-eth0. But, how do I find it?

One tool that would be very handy is if I could make my WiFi-box2 visible on my LAN. Then I could use Windows explorer to search for ifcfg-eth0 and use Notepad++ to edit the file.

So, how to add my WiFi-box2 to my LAN which happens to have a router at 192.168.2.1 and not 192.168.0.1 consistent with the default IP address? According to the TS-75XX/TS-4500 Manual, to mount an NFS file system from the fastboot shell, type:

mount 192.168.0.1:/tsarm-nfsroot /mnt/root

So, for a LAN with a router at 192.168.2.1, one would guess the above command would become:

mount 192.168.2.1:/tsarm-nfsroot /mnt/root

Well, that does not work. I get the following error:

mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused

I am still floundering badly in the absence of user friendly "Getting Started" documentation.

Can anyone give me some hints or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Bob Furber
