Is there any way to enable secondary Ip?

Good evening all,

I currently have an issue with a piece of equipment and I've managed to find a fix on the net which is described in the below link :

http://208.74.204.120/t5/Logitech-TV-Cam-HD/Alternative-solution-to-connection-problems/td-p/1514461

Does anyone know if the fix described is possible with Merlin firmwares?

That's a really horrible solution! A better answer is to do what is suggested in the comments; to create a hosts file entry for www.skype.com that points to 127.0.0.1

It is unclear from the post whether the camera is a network device that connects straight to the router, or whether it connects to a PC and it is the PC that connects to the internet.

If the camera is connected through the PC you just need to edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

If the camera is connected to the router, create a /jffs/configs/hosts.add file that contains this line:

127.0.0.1 www.skype.com

See https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Custom-config-files

Thanks for this. Very helpful!

Gah, not used Jffs for a while, completely forgot how to use it!

I've got Jffs enabled and logged into the router via putty, completely forgot what to do from here! Any help anyone!?

 

[ColinTaylor]

cd /jffs/configs
echo "127.0.0.1 www.skype.com" > hosts.add
chmod 777 hosts.add

Reboot the router and then the camera.
