The files above were hosted from the old Canadian site. I have removed those broken links and created local links. I recommend going to support.dlink.com for the latest drivers.

I accidentally installed the VDI-604 firmware on my DI-604. When I tried to installed the latest and greatest firmware, 3.52, I kept getting an error message that the file was not compatible. The solution is to crash your router. When you crash your router it boots into a firmware upgrade mode. This allowed me to install 3.52.

Hold down the rest button for 10-20 seconds until the router lights go out. Quickly pull out and put back in the power cord. When you login the router will display a small dialog box to browse for your firmware. It may take a few tries and I have not tested this on any other routers other than a few Dlink 604s. Let me know if it works on other models.

*Update: Directions to crash the router can be found here.

*Update: I removed the dead links and added the newest firmware, 3.53. Dlink support in the US and Canada no longer host the older versions of the firmwares. They also do not host ANY rev A, B, or C firmwares. Thanks to FastEddie and ErikaD from DSLReports for snagging the files before they went extinct.

My Dell DJ Car Installation

This is an article/post I put together for my Dell Dj car installation. Originally I placed the DJ and line-out craddle in the dash and used a wired remote. I ended up making a line-out cable with the help of Sparky from DellDJSite.com

With the line-out cable I was able to still use the line-out feature for great sound, but I can now see the screen from the driver’s position. Very Sweet. I pooped.

PixGallery for Unix

Having trouble with PixGallery? I’m a noob, but I was able to flail my way through it and get it working…

Jamie Reid who has a blog/site, http://lonelyfridge.com/ and was nice enough to let me pick and poke at his edited version of PixGallery ver 0.1.8 from here jamie_pixgallery.zip

I took Jamie’s edited version and replaced pixgallery.css and pixgallery.js with the official version http://nathanm.com/index.php/pixgallery or pixgallery 0.2.6.zip files.

I also edited this:
In pixgallery.php I commented out the “PixGallery_LayerCode”.
In pixgallery.php I commented out “add_action(’wp_footer’, ‘PixGallery_LayerCode’);”
In pixgallery.js I changed “PopupLayer.style.top = (Cursor.Y + 5) + “px”;” to
“PopupLayer.style.top = (Cursor.Y - 100) + “px”;” to make the image popup a little higher. Although, this seems to be a little unstable on first image popup.

I left all the plugin panel options defaulted, so your pictures need to be placed in: ex. /home/virtual/site24/fst/home/cote/p/images/photos/Japan

p/ is the root directory of my website/wordpress installation.

An example of my cache directory is here:
/home/virtual/site24/fst/home/cote/p/images/cache/images/photos

You may need to create your cache directories and subdirectories manually. I had some difficulties with this, but it seems to be working now. ex.
/home/virtual/site24/fst/home/cote/p/images/cache/images/photos/Japan

Again, p/ is the root directory of my website/wordpress installation, yours will be different.

Place this code in your post or page <pixgallery></pixgallery>
You may place a readme.txt file in each picture subdirectory so you may add a header to each collection.

Some problems:

Seems to breaks on images greater than 1024 regardless of what you set in the plugin control panel. All my pictures are resampled to 800×600 before uploading.

Place this code in a post for a simple image popup:
<img src=”/images/photos/Japan/DCP004572.jpg” width=”400″ class=”usePixGallery” alt=”" title=”(click to enlarge)”
onclick=”javascript:PixGallery_ImagePopupLayer(’/images/photos/Japan/DCP004572.jpg’, 800, 600, ”, this);” />

Obviously, you need to change the “/images/photos/Japan/DCP004572.jpg” to something that exists in your /images/photos/example directory.

Here is a copy of my pixgallery setup.

Thanks to Jamie Reid and Nathan Moinvaziri! Here is my gallery: Pictures

Here is a example of a stand alone picture (click the picture):

*UPDATE* - I no longer use Pixgalley :( I now use Lightbox2 written by Lokesh Dhakar. The wordpress plugin can be found here. This plugin works very well with the popular Slickr Gallery plugin for Wordpress.

ZoneEdit setup with Inadyn (dynamic DNS update client)

Some notes if you intend to use Inadyn with ZoneEdit (this assumes you finished step 1 from the official web page and you have ZoneEdit and your domain is setup correctly):

Edit and use the “configure_inadyn_service_freedns” file.
(disregard or delete the other .reg file)

Replace “test.homeip.net,PASTE_HASH_HERE” with your host and domain you have configured with ZoneEdit, ex. myhost.mydomain.com

Replace “default@freedns.afraid.org” with “default@zoneedit.com”

Add “–username myzoneeditname –password myzoneeditpassword” Place this entry right after “–update_period 60000″

Change “E:\\FULL_PATH_TO_INADYN\\inadyn\\inadyn.exe” to the location of inadyn.exe, ex. C:\\Program Files\\ZoneEdit\\win32\\inadyn.exe

Save this, then double click on it to load these values into your registry.

You will then need to click on “install_inadyn_service”

Go to ControlPanel/AdministrativeTools/Services/inadyn and START the service. Also make sure that the startup mode is ‘automatic’.

Then check the log to see if it worked here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\inadyn_srv.log

Here is an example of my “configure_inadyn_service_freedns” file (minus the sensitive information :)

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\inadyn\Parameters]
“Application”=”C:\\Program Files\\ZoneEdit\\win32\\inadyn.exe”
“AppParameters”=”–dyndns_system default@zoneedit.com –background –update_period 60000 –username dholden –password xxxxxx –alias hhhhhh.jellylog.net –log_file inadyn_srv.log”

The official support forum for Inadyn is located here.

I have a copy of Inadyn configured and ready to rock (see README.txt) here.
