Could it be that you just found the way to resurrect static-routing on a dir655 ? ???

No, even in this view you can select WAN only.

Will try the bridge later.

Ok, let us all know, keep up the good work.

By the way: I like the way you move ...  ( from one forum to another, of course )  ;D

This got interesting.. I was so fed up that other people on my LAN could disable the connection via UPNP that I turned it off. Now (in Opera) on the page "Advanced Network", I chose another style and suddenly two new options came up..

UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) supports peer-to-peer Plug and Play functionality for network devices.

Enable UPnP : 
Allow Users to disable Internet Access :  <- this
Allow Users to modify Virtual Server Mappings :  <- this

Now I can use UPNP again.. why in the world was these options "hidden" in the first place?

Lycan:  "I'm going to need you to look in this flashy thing for a second."   
D-Link Customer:  "Wait a min!!  What are these new settings and I'm pissed off that this damn thing... "

<FLASH> 

Lycan:  "Ok sir, you just bought a D-Link router and can't wait to set it up.  You will reflash the router just to ensure you have the latest and greatest firmware D-Link can provide.  You love the way the router stays warm, the ability to disable DNS Relay whenever you want, and the spontaneous slowdown and reboot feature we have added to ensure any memory leaks are wiped periodically."

@anonposter: Are you makin an attempt to be funny or you just taking a piss with the board mod? The attempt fails miserably and it makes absolutely no sense to riducule someone who takes the users' best interest at heart.

Its ok EddieZ, not only is Lycan a big boy, he would probably do that if he could.

I know I wouldn't mind one of those MIB wands, if only they worked through the phone and over teh interwebs.


P.S. I am only here cause a post was reported, I have learned my lesson and am not here for general discussion this time.  I have better things to do with my time, like put hot wax on my eyeballs.

Yup, this is very important. Now i see why we have to wait some fixes/new firmware so long time.  ;D

You should be glad they don't let me at the firmware, I have no problem making decisions that I tell you are right.  If you think 1.30 was fun just wait till you see what I would do to the feature set, I have not been bashful about my opinion on various features in the past.

There are several issues with the current routers.  Now 40+ hidden settings were identified and I'm sure he wishes he can make folks forget about those so he can focus on the ones Dlink has specifically given users access to modify.  It was meant as a joke and nothing more.  These boards can get heated at times.

With that said, keep up the good work.  I'm sure he appreciates his level 9 knight in shining armor come to save him from the evil poster.

Sarcasm will get you everywhere.
YES, there are hidden pages. No, I won't tell you how to use them. End of story.

The Ubicom platform comes with features we don't offer in the unit so we disable the feature and hide the page.

And with that I'm going to lock this thread before Anon can come up with another one of his witty retorts.

-Lycan.

As always, if you have something useful to add PM me and I'll unlock the thread.
