I have the same problem. We're you able to. Connect to the Internet?
When I attempt to change my password on my router which is currently running Tomato, I get this error:
The field "http_wanport" is invalid
I don't like running with the default password, so this is a big deal. What's going on with it & how do I fix?
Thx

I was. It looks like the build just doesn't have a default value set for http wan interrface, but the GUI checks for that value when you attempt to save from the admin page (coincidentially where you also change your password). You have to work around by configuring the WAN HTTP port value (even if you're not using remote access). Not a big deal because you can disable remote access right after you enable & configure the value.
Let me know if the same workaround fixes you up.

I was able to change the password by the info you provided, but I'm unable have internet, though the router is successfully connected to my DSL router. Are you authenticating to your broadband modem via pppoe?

I'm using a Westell 6100 DSL modem, and I have it set up to handle my PPPOE authentication. I also have it configured to do an IP passthrough to my router, so it is assigning my public IP to the WAN interface on my router.
I haven't tried the PPPOE config on the router. I prefer to keep that function on the DSL modem. Your DSL modem shuold have the same capability. If it does, all you have to do is set up the router WAN interface to be a DHCP client or statically configure the WAN IP.

Thanks...still can't get internet. Do you have the tomato set as gateway or router?
Is this the same tomato version you have? http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/10413/tomato_wgr614l-lzma/

yes....everything looks good, but I just can't get internet. The LED on my router as follows: Power=sold green, Check=sold amber, Wifi=sold green, Internet=sold amber, LAN 1-4=solid to flickering green
Are yours the same? What version tomato are you running and did you download it from here?
August 26, 2008 7:26 AM
I'm using ver:Tomato Firmware v1.11.41510 that I downloaded here last week
(Some basic troubleshooting that you may have already done)
Can you successfully ping from the router from the tools -> ping page?
From a PC behind the router, can you resolve DNS?
Is your router's internal IP address set as the default gateway on your PC?

I can't ping out from the router, and the subnet and DNS info correlates accordingly, ipconfig /all. There something in tomato that prevents me from getting internet. I'm getting frustrated with this, luckily I have another wgr614v8 that I can use to connect to the internet. That one is running ddwrt.
It seems much more trouble to use third party firmwares with the wgr614 than is with the Linksys wrt54g, which I also have a couple. With the Linksys, all third party firmware that I have installed, have installed successfully and working on the first boot.

if u can't ping from the router, it doesn't sound like you're getting connectivity between the router and your modem.
How are you connecting on the WAN interface? (DHCP, Static IP, PPPOE,...)
If you're having better luck with DD-WRT, then you may want to give up on getting Tomato to work. I like Tomato's interface better, but they're both good loads. I wouldn't use anything but a 3rd party load bcause the mfgr load doesn't expose so much functionality that is in the hardware.

Are the LEDs on your router steady green or the check and internet LED in solid amber?
August 26, 2008 10:43 PM
mine are solid amber which has bothered me since I upgraded from the netgear load to tomato (they were green then)
I'm not sure what the colors mean

I am experiencing the exact same problem. Just got my router yesterday, got the latest fireware for EU. Everything seems fine, Internet connected yet there is nothing beyond the router. I cannot SSH in either even though the password prompt comes up, enter password, wait 2 mins:
Connection to 192.168.0.254 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.0.254 closed.
Problem looks like a firewall issue but I have setup anything and cannot see anything that would block it.
I am not willing to give up on tomato. Took me hours already to get it working due to incomplete documentation and from what i understand and can see it's the best.
Please help!

Just tested a direct network setup now, let my current working router connect to the internet, give out dhcp, plug the netgear wan port into the other router's switch and setup my laptop as a device on the netgear lan. dhcp client network setup on the netgear and everything works. so the problem is only with PPP connections. could still be a firewall issue not setting up correct rules for ppp.
one change, now from my laptop i can ssh BUT i get this error as soon as i input password:
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
shell request failed on channel 0

OK - so I had to enable remote access to my router, configure a WAN port, then disable remote access. It appears that my build didn't have a default configured.
