Romote management
change the hardware as the wrap board I was using gave up. Not sure yet if it was lightening or just hardware failure, although there was a smell of burning from around the processor, and the radio's didn't get blown. I did a resetkeys, followed by a remotemanagement and everything is looking good again in wiana. about the hardware change affecting the key.

Updates can trash settings
* Update and a node and reboot but fails to come back up. * Check that there is enough space of HDD. * Alters wiana.setting file. * Turns of the ["DHCP"] server. Won't allow any connections until it has done an update * Resets channel back to defualt. Resolve issue go bck to the closest node. Set its channel to 1 and SSID to LocustWorld wait for mesh: (See FirstSteps). When they did I then edited the wiana.settings file and changed the settings to channel6 and back to our SSID. I then rebooted the box and reset the settings on the box I did this from.

They remeshed and I was then able to do a remote management. > I have just updated the first node and after a reboot is has > failed to come back up.

I've got two boxes built up here. > > > > meshbox1 1 x radio card and 1 ethernet (connected to local lan) > > meshbox2 2 x radio cards I logged in to both boxes and set the TUNNELTYPE:IP, (it was set to PPP on meshbox1 and did not exist on meshbox2) I can now do a remotemanagement from meshbox2 and I see: 1.137.18.246@meshbox:~# remotemanagement Thu, 16 Sep 2004 12:11:03 +0100 Thu Sep 16 11:11:03 UTC 2004 Time updated AOK ACK 7608 received from wiana.org Hardware key is: 362e2e394bc8882fe463b6f53374977f Ultra key is: 362e2e394bc8882fe463b6f53374977f Stats processing.

Does that look ok? If I leave it a few mins and look at the wiana pages I still see Attention: 7 remote operations scheduled for meshbox1? However the pending operations for meshbox2 seem to have worked?

Some more info which may help somebody throw some light on this.
