Make sure it’s got an IP address that’s easy to remember e.g. if your main router is 192.168.0.1 then make this access point 192.168.0.2

On the old router; disable the UPNP, the DHCP and the router’s firewall (if possible). Plug a cross over cable between the old and new router (if it’s a direct connection). Make sure to plug the cable into the old router’s LAN port (there might be several of these, any will do). Don’t plug the cable into the WAN port on the old router as this will not work.

Now you should be all set and able surf the internet!

Apache 2.2.9 Doesn’t support MD5 hashed passwords in the .htpasswd file when running on windows. The password has to be stored in plain text format. If you use a hashed password then it will never let you login past the authentication prompt because it thinks you should be typing the MD5 hash as the password!

To automatically start synergy at the login screen:

Run “sudo vim /etc/gdm/Init/Default” in the command window. This will run the vim text editor to edit the startup script of gdm.

Add the following chunk of text at the beginning of the file. Replace CLIENTNAME AND SERVERIP with your relevant synergy client name and synergy server ip. This loads synergy when kdm is loaded.

# ADDED FOR SYNERGY
/usr/bin/killall synergyc
sleep 1
/usr/bin/synergyc –daemon –name CLIENTNAME SERVERIP
# END SYNERGY

To get synergy to start once you have logged in:

In the menu simply goto System Menu->Preferences->Sessions, click the Startup Programs tab, click “Add” then just enter the Startup Command:

synergyc –daemon –name CLIENTNAME SERVERIP
