Live behind the Linksys
Tonight I loaded the latest Sveasoft firmware into the WRT54G, and got everything up and running. I had a slight problem getting the DynDns service working. All I needed to add was &system=custom after the domain name, and everything worked. I haven’t configured WiFi yet, but will get to that this weekend hopefully. I’ve got a D600 with an a/b/g card in it to test out running a VPN over WiFi.
Once I had the router up and going I started into building a new software image for some Latitude D600’s that arrived at the office today. I took things a little far with the tweaks though, and seemed to have killed the image that took several hours to build. Most of that time was spent waiting for various patches to download. One I managed to get Safe Mode up (which took more work that it should have), I disabled the LargeSystemCache entry, and everything was back to normal. The other tweaks (most from I am Not a geek’s Windows XP Performance Tweaking Guide. Most of the tweaks are not things I’d do to a corporate image, but some of them are useful.
