I am sorry, but does your image say something like "Remote linking forbidden"? If not, then there is a problem with your linked image.

Also, an easy way to always know your IP is by using a free dynamic DNS service. I use www.no-ip.org. It is free and you can choose a domain name of your choice (it will be a subdomain of no-ip.org or zapto.org or some other as choices given by no-ip). For example, you can choose your domain name to be sgmandy.no-ip.org. You would need to install a small daemon on your computer (available for both Linux and Windows) which will keep updating your IP address assaciated with your domain at regular intervals or at boot times. So you just connect to sgmandy.no-ip.org instead of having to know your IP address.

regards.

I don't know if its me or the way you guys have linked the image, but by clicking on the above link I get an image (text message really) that says 'remote linking is forbidden. File server does not support remote linking for files or image for FREE account. Please upgrade your account'.

Am I missing something here?

Copying and pasting the link worked. Thanks.

So I see that the the modem is working on busybox and using ash shell. It appears that it is a commonly found OS in modems/routers. I found these couple of pages which will be useful to know more about his:

- About busybox (http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html)
- About the OS and telnet in router (http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vivek/blogger/2005/09/hacking-dlink-502t-router.html)


So once you telnet to your modem, could you post the output to these command (in the following "#>" means the prompt):
#> cat /proc/cpuinfo
#> cat /proc/meminfo
#> cat /proc/version

thanks.

Yes you can telnet to your router from outside provided that you're not blocking telnet port access from your WAN side.
Your router might be dropping all ICMP packets blindly, hence no ping reply.
Check settings of
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

Also check how netfilter is being configured by executing following command
iptables -L -v | grep icmp

And if rule is being set to drop ICMP packets by default then modify it accordingly.

I think in the web configuration of wa1003a, there a page called "remote access" or "remote management" or something like this. That page has an ICMP check box and a ping check box.

I am not sure what their purpose is, but one can try checking both the boxes, saving the configuration and restarting the router, and trying pinging again and trying telneting to the computer by its ip address.

I forgot to point out that it is *not* recommended to use telnet over the internet. Telnet sends its passwords in clear text so anybody snooping on your connection can easily read your username and password. So people who are very security concious or where security is critical never use telnet. The best alternative is ssh. But I don't think wa1003a runs an ssh server.

Having said that, you could try telneting just for the sake of experiments. But once you have done that, it will be a good precaution to change your login password in the modem/router.

But one can usually trust one's local network (LAN), e.g. at home, so it is okay to use telnet there.
