How do I get Telnet working on DNS-323

Hi Guys,

Hope you can help, I'm desperate
Total newbe on Linux and hacking I still need to get Telnet working in order to install Twonky DLNA support.

I used the 0.3 funplug from http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/ and altered the funplug file according to Another Telnet daemon subsection at http://www.shadowandy.net/_html/archives/tech/dns323/

It is about here that my knowledge gap starts showing.
1. Is it true that just by putting the funplug file and the funplug.tar file into (in my case) \\192.168.1.9\Volume_1 through ftp the DNS-323 in some mysterious way starts unpacking and installing the files after reboot? I fear that this is not the root of the system but I can not find any other place to put the file (tried to ftp \\192.168.1.9 folder but couldn't be accessed).

2. I tried to telnet the ip address after reboot but no telnet response so I guess nothing has happened.

3. When looking around in other topics it seems that other people can actually "see" the linux environment from a windows client. How is that achieved.

OK guys, what basic knowledge am I missing here? Hope you can help me out and gently guide me into the fanastic world of Linux.


Thanks!

Re: How do I get Telnet working on DNS-323

Hi slipperman,


Hope this helps, I got mine yesterday and I was down about the same path as yours... was hacking my way to get this done way pass midnite while watching France beat NZ in the IRB World Cup. I hope this would help you get this right.

used the 0.3 funplug from http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/ and altered the funplug file according to Another Telnet daemon subsection at http://www.shadowandy.net/_html/archives/tech/dns323/

- I'm using firmware v1.03... yours should be the same or a version earlier as yours has got Volume_1 as the disk identifier. I did the same thing as you that when I got the funplug script I alter it. Not sure what you changed, by for me I changed the variable to refer to Volume_1 - boy, that didn't work and I wonder what went wrong for some good hours. Finally what I did is I just drop the script and the tar file that's it. No editing necessary. I don't have time though to find a way why I don't need to change the path but everything is good. Give it a try - download, unpack then just drop the 2 files in your root directory. Use ftp and set it to bin mode. I use filezilla if you want to try a GUI tool.

It is about here that my knowledge gap starts showing.

- It's not mysterious at all, the explaination is in the wiki... I think Dlink decides to have this function to get this device a larger appeal and maybe to help fix problems that they don't have time to work on - speculation on my part smile ... anyway, you're right - drop it under \\your NAS ip\Volume_1 ... reboot, you're good to go.

2. I tried to telnet the ip address after reboot but no telnet response so I guess nothing has happened.

- You should get a prompt, give the first step a try.

3. When looking around in other topics it seems that other people can actually "see" the linux environment from a windows client. How is that achieved.

- I believe this is via telnetting from windows command line... unless you're referring to dmesg - that's linux kernel messages that gets loged along the way. That would be something useful once you hv your telnet ready.

Hope this helps.

Re: How do I get Telnet working on DNS-323

Hello azri (and possibly others)

No luck I'm afraid. (Bond on tv...)

1. Yes, using 1.03.

2. Removed the fun_plug and .tar file and downloaded a fresh version. Rebooted. Nothing, tried to telnet but no contact on telnet port 23. Tried telnet on port 21 which opened ftp session.

3. Removed fun_plug and .tar file again and follow the wiki version instead (home made fun_plug in root directory, starttelnet.sh in root directory, busybox 3 and utelnetd in lnx_bin folder), rebooted and tried to communicate on telnet port 23. Nothing.

4. Opened/redirected port 23 in DIR-655 router and used the internet address to try to telnet that ip-equivalent (as I successfully has done with ftp/port 21 traffic. No telnet response.

OK, in the instructions of http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.3/ there is a note about upgrade procedure of funplug and renaming old directories through telnet. OK, if something went wrong here does that mean I have directories hidden in Linux area (or whatever the correct naming may be). If so, how the f... will I remove/rename these if I dont get telnet up?

Getting a bit bored by this now, maybe I just purchase myself out of this misery and purchase nas with telnet. After all, I just want to get support for DLNA so I can stream media to my PS3 from a NAS....

Is there any other way of telling whether or not the fun_plug installation was successful (apart from telnetting)? Can any other of the native servers be interfering with telnet?

Bleeding lost here. Even tried to put the NAS on a DMZ just to check if there was a port issue. Still not a sound. Is the problem due to that I'm using RAID1 config (looked in fun_plug and saw that there were two discs referenced...

Do I sound confused? Correct!

Re: How do I get Telnet working on DNS-323

When you unpacked fun_plug and the .tar, what program did you use? I hope it wasn't with WinZip? wink

(you should use something like WinRAR that doesn't mangle UNIX text files)

Re: How do I get Telnet working on DNS-323

Winzip it was! I must try with another unzipper pack. Hang on...

JEEEZZZ! It worked right away. Downloaded Winrar and unpacked the funplug kit, restarted the 323 and telnetted. Results: happy macintosh (or rather Busybox v1.6.1 ....

Installed twonky in notime and now I'm streaming my MP3:s and pictures to my PS3 like a charm!! Will evaluate the Twonky and then purchase after the trial period.

Thanks ever so much MiK! Sending lots of virtual beer!
