I have been using DMT tool and Routerstats in a 'Virtual XP computer' .
What do I have to do to run them in 'Wine' XP on a User Account NOT a Root account !.
Edit ... I have had both running in wine but DMT just keeps saying "it's the wrong IP address" (but it's not ! )
and Routerstats does not show any data .
I have read Eric's sticky post above.
Edit2... DMT is saying 'It can not identify the router type' :'( I will check I have the correct DMT tool for my 'Speedtouch 536')

I never succeeded in running DMT successfully in a user account. I don't remember exactly what the problem was, but I seem to recall that it simply wouldn't log on, despite entering the correct data. Earlier versions of Routerstats worked fine as a user, but more recent versions seem to stress the Wine system much more, and functioning is a bit hit and miss. I find that the telnet option just locks up the program.
I now use Routerstats-Lite instead of the full program, and I find that this works perfectly with Wine as a user.
(Perhaps I should modify the sticky to reflect this.)

Ubuntu newbie here. I have installed as dual boot and one of the things I missed about windows was having routerstats running all the time. Decided to have a go at installing wine to run routerstats and after a bit of huffing and puffing I got there. Only to find excessive CPU usage every time routerstats interrogated the router.
Having read this thread I too have reverted to routerstats lite and problem solved.

Hello and welcome :).
Yes running the 'Lite' version seems to work well in wine.

Got DMT tool working in a User account ;D.
I will do a bit more testing and report back ;)

I forgot about this post :blush:
All I had to do was to put my router address speedtouch.lan and not 192.168.1.254 in the IP-Add box.

Hmm... I seem to remember that Speedtouch routers have a choice of two separate IP addresses, one being a 10.x.x.x number. I wonder if speedtouch.lan points at this alternative address. Can you ping speedtouch.lan?

re "Can you ping speedtouch.lan?" Yes. and it was a 10.x.x.x address.
So can you not do this with other routers ?. eg router address.lan
-
Maybe you can do it with some, but not all routers provide an access address in that form. I'm dredging my memory here (and not finding much) but I seem to recall that there is some difference in the way that the two IP addresses are set up in Speedtouch routers - something to do with passwords being required/not required perhaps?
