[TenTec] OMNI VII & Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router Problems

[Bill Mellema]

Greetings:

I've had my OMNI VII for almost 3 weeks and am loving it.....

I am trying to get my Linksys Router (WRT54GS V6) to allow access to 
my OMNI VII remotely. I have worked with Linksys a couple of times 
now getting the router configured properly. This includes port 
forwarding ETC. If anyone has this model router working for remote 
operation I would really appreciate hearing from you. I am able to 
access the rig in the remote mode while working locally on my network 
but not from an off site location using the WW Web. I suspect it just 
may be a simple setting but it's not simple if you don't know...

I was able to ping the router IP 192.168.1.1 ok but not the OMNI 192.168.1.2...

Guys I not a IT guy just trying to get the darn thing going so I can 
operate it next week while on a business trip. If it turns out this 
router is not the best for this application I would certainly move to 
a different model/manufacturer.

Thanks In Advance,

Bill N3WM
