Hi Mehma,
You could have taken this first into the Kenyan
technical forum - skunkworks.
First tell me, which modem is this? ZTE MF192
or the older one? I cannot remember the model.
Having the modem bundled with DIR-412 means these
guys (Orange) already disabled the virtual CD-ROM,
right? That is the only way it would work with the
D-Link DIR-412.
Hi Washington,
Thanks for the quick reply!
I am not aware of the Kenyan tech forum - skunkworks.
Checking online it looks like a blog. Yours, perhaps?
I will get the model number shortly. We got the bundle in
Kisumu a month ago and have it running on a weekly pre-pay
plan. You'll have to excuse me, I do not know what a virtual
CD-ROM is.
I was in Siaya over the new year's working on a medical
records automation project. We are trying to get ssh access
to allow them to go-live next month. The administrators are
really green and need much hand-holding. We carried most of
our equipment over (3 servers, 5 switches, fiber optic
cables) and are currently challenged by Internet access and
UPS.
Hi Mehma,
I am not sure I understand what you need to do here.
Is it that you'd like to run pfSense on a workstation in
Siaya, to enable you get SSH access onto a server located
there?
Have you tried looking at this another way, like:
1. Using TeamViewer (
http://www.teamviewer.com)
- Get the guys at Siaya to run it on a host there, run the
same on your side,
access their Desktop, then you can download putty.exe from
http://lix.in/-adf819
and use it to ssh into the server you want
2. If you want to have pfSense at the site in Siaya, my
question is - how will you be accessing the pfSense box? Do
you intend to configure a VPN tunnel between the box and
another endpoint at your end?
I have not tried using Internet in Siaya, but if Safaricom was
there, I'd go for their 3G instead of this EvDO from Orange,
although the last time I used EvDO in Kisumu the speeds were
pretty good. I hope the same applies to Siaya.
Please feel free to take this discussion off list with me. I
have a feeling you are not in Kenya at the moment. I can
probably help you sort out your needs.
