Google Posterity Post — flashing DD-WRT onto a Belkin FD4230-4 router
I’ve had this little router for years, bought it for $20 with a $20 rebate, and since upgrading the OS to DD-WRT it’s performed flawlessly. I have a Belkin wireless router (model number: F5D7230-4 v1444). For some reason, the Virtual Server (or Port Forwarding) did not work correctly. It’s obviously a firmware problem. I checked […]
T-Mobile U.S.A. GPRS/EDGE, ISDN, and WAP settings
Want to configure your Smart Phone, tablet or telephone to use the T-Mobile data network? This is a simple collection of settings for use with the T-Mobile (formerly VoiceStream) U.S.A. network I’ve collected over the years.

SPAMs are getting flagged as BAYES_00, which gives them a negative score. I was moving them into the […]
Weird networking knockoff
This is one of the strangest knock-offs I’ve seen; they’ve totally borrowed the Linksys case design, but use a one-antenna board: I’m pretty sure that even the B Linksys routers had two antennae. In another project, I have my FON router operational. It’s in a DMZ and allows access to other FON users for free. Check out […]
My Business is Mind-Melting

Thinking outside the box
On the Pigdog list (“Bad Craziness at Impossible Speeds”) We’re talking about having Arnold save the country via a congressional amendment to allow foreign-born citizens to run for president. > The much more straightforward way is to simply declare war > against Austria, annex it, and then it’s part of the U.S. Nah, Austria’s in […]
