  SSH / Telnet on Webif settings
  
  We seem to have wandered off the original fault report. When one visits http://humax/cgi-bin/settings.jim, the "Disable telnet server ?" option is always "NO" or unchecked (assuming that one does have the dropbear-ssh package installed). Looks like there's no code to change the...

  Probably best to post the captured data and we can look at it for you. Your later posts seem to be pointing the finger at the Voyager router - presumably it doesn't firewall traffic between LAN hosts ?

  lose ftp connection (or IP address) and have to reboot
  
  I had to smile at "I've been trying to transfer files as small as 700Mb". Can you run Wireshark or similar on the other machine to see what's happening ? FWIW, it doesn't sound like MTU problems to me - they usually show up as soon as you try to move any real amount of data. E.g. you can...

  The DHCP server pool settings on the TG585 can be an absolute PITA to change. Even trying to nail-up a lease for a device can be problematical. I always end up saving the configuration to a file, editing that file to change the settings, and then restoring the configuration from that file...

  As you say you've got working ssh keys, why not just disable password authentication for dropbear ? On another piece of hardware I have which also uses dropbear, I've poisoned the password file by putting '*' in the hash field.

  I'm slightly puzzled as to why you'd want to run OpenVPN on the Humax. Do you want the Humax to be client or server ? There's source code at: http://vtun.sourceforge.net/tun/ but do you have the header files for the Linux kernel running on the Humax ?
