Do I do that via telnet? If I do log in the DOS screen displays
Code: [Select]
[Session 1 in use by 'admin' on 192.168.1.64:49542
Session 2 in use by 'admin' on 192.168.1.67:49412

Hit Return to list sessions & scan for a free one
Or type the number of the session you want to kill/code]

Yes via telnet.  Not sure what your output is from?

If using windows (Some versions need admin authorisation)
Run cmd -> Type  telnet

Type open 192.168.1.254
Now enter the username (Administrator) and password.

and a window that looks like a weird lego brick should come up (Sorry no idea what its supposed to be).
Then see screen cap below.

PS just thought..  re when I said some versions of windows (ie Win 7)...  telnet is not enabled by default -  to do so see the instructions at the bottom of this page

http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/telnet_router.htm


(wondering if theres a possibility that the driver update has disabled some of Windows advanced features)/

Still getting the message about sessions in use, and finally one saying "no more sessions, connection to host lost".

Telnet to client is set to enabled, and so is telnet to server. As mine is not a server could that be a cause of problems?

Are you logging off properly after a telnet session? This is pure speculation, but perhaps the router retains the telnet login if you don't log off, hence the multiple sessions.

no more sessions, connection to host lost

okay thanks...  which as eric points out, then something must be already using the maximum available sessions  - didnt know that the tecnicolor only allowed 2 - in fact Ive just been able to run 3 concurrent sessions on mine! Nor does mine appear to retain sessions, but Im running the Be* firmware.

At least the sessions are coming from your PC on the LAN and not externally. But something is using up the available sessions and therefore not allowing Routerstats or Telnet to connect.

There will be a command  somewhere to clear the open sessions, but Im wondering if it may just be easier to reboot the router. 

PS It may also be worthwhile rebooting your PC at the same time to make sure that there isnt something stuck on your PC trying to access it.

Code: [Select]
Session 1 in use by 'admin' on 192.168.1.64:49542
Session 2 in use by 'admin' on 192.168.1.67:49412

Hit Return to list sessions & scan for a free one
Or type the number of the session you want to kill

Used to have a similar problem with the 585, which was limited to 2 telnet sessions. Needed to adapt my perl scripts to kill one of the sessions
Code: [Select]
if (!$tn->open(Host => $modemHost, Port => $modemPort, errmode=> "return"))
{
return;
}
#if more than two telnet sessions then get
# Session 1 in use by 'admin' on 192.168.1.3:1839
# Session 2 in use by 'admin' on 192.168.1.3:3581
#
# Hit Return to list sessions & scan for a free one
# Or type the number of the session you want to kill
($prematch, $match)=$tn->waitfor(Match => '/username :/i',Match => '/kill/i');
if ($match eq "kill")
{
$tn->put("1");
($prematch, $match)=$tn->waitfor('/username :/i');
}

Did you try pressing 1 or 2 inorder to kill a session and then restarting RouterStats?

Unless you specifically need the telnet server then it should be removed. Only the telnet client should be necessary.

Has the router been rebooted since you started having problems?

Perhaps running wireshark could throw light on the problem, but it does sound like telnet sessions are opened and not closed.

As per kitz's suggestion session timeout value is now 0.
Also have unselected telnet server, rebooted (restarted) router, and computer, un/reinstalled RS.

With the 582N the Get Page is odd (see attachment) but I never had troubles with the 582n's predecessor.
So still no luck.

Kitz mentioned possibility of the driver updates having interfered with windows advanced features. Which would they be in particular, and what should settings be? See mine attached

>>  Kitz mentioned possibility of the driver updates having interfered with windows advanced features.

I was just clutching at straws Im afraid, but after having checked your screen cap of the features you have switched on, they look fine.

I'll go check the settings on my 582n in a mo and post you some screen caps.
PS that message about user defined graphs is normal with the 582n..  but it doesnt stop the default graphs being produced.

---------
Edited to add screen cap.

This was the only page I had to change in the settings.

Now wondering if overwriting current Dell drivers from original OEM CD might be best next step.

It might be a silly question, but have you tried using Sysem Restore to rewind your system to verify it is the updates that caused it?

What updates were they anyway?

Sys Res was used right at start  of discovering problems. Network Adapters ( Dell and Reaktek), Display Adapter (GeForce).

When the 582n option is selected RouterStats establishes a telnet session between the PC and router.

Only the following 4 commands are issued by RouterStats:
Code: [Select]
env set var=SESSIONTIMEOUT value=0
xdsl debug bitloadinginfo
xdsl info expand=enabled
ip iplist

Since the reboot have you been able to establish a manual telnet session with the router ?

Have you tried extracting RouteStats to a different dircectory ?

Looking closely at the first screen capture (getpage.pdf) I see it refers to a TG587n and not a TG582n:-\

Could that be the result of a misconfiguration, somewhere?  :-X

For some reason it says that even if its configured and running correctly for the TG582n
(see cap below)

PS that message about user defined graphs is normal with the 582n..  but it doesnt stop the default graphs being produced.
