Re: [Help Me] dsl-2640b firmware ver 4.00 setting up qos
hi seph, sounds like a good plan to look through the source code, i too am def no programmer, system admin only :-). thats interesting that you got 802.1p to work correctly within the lan, its good to know, not sure i will really use it but you never know :-).
ok onto the auto reboot script, i generally find this is useful when there is a glitch from my isp which requires a reboot on my router, and it works a treat :-). im basically using autohotkey in order to automate a telnet connection and then run a series of commands to reboot the router.
step 1. copy and paste the following code into notepad and save the file with a ahk extension, making sure to change
"youradminusername" and "youradminpassword" to your login details for your router.
step 2. download and install autohotkey from here »www.autohotkey.com/download/
step 3. once installed you can then either execute the script by double clicking it, or you can compile it and turn it into a self contained exe, which is what ive done, if you want you can then remove autohotkey, but personally i find it very useful :-).
step 4. create yourself a batch file that checks for a ping response, code example of the batch file i use:-
step 5. create a windows scheduled task to run the batch file every 30 mins.
i hope you find this useful seph, and def keep me posted on any developments regarding qos :-).

| Thanks a lot for the script Paul!!!
Also thanks a lot for suggesting AutoHotKey, it is a really nice program and a fast alternative to Windows Scripting Host for basic task automation.
I'm still doing my research about DSCP and how Windows and other OSes implement QoS. It could be interesting if we can create port-less and ip-less QoS rules on the router that are triggered by the OS and its applications themselves, just like uPnP NAT traversal works. I know that this is possible since I've seen it implemented on some higher-end systems and corp. networks... just don't know how to do it.. yet... 
Again thanks for the script and the great thread you have made.
Regards,

| hi seph, glad autohotkey is working well for you, it is a pretty powerful app and free too, can't beat free eh  .
i too would like more granular control over qos than the 3 priorities (9, 10, 11) but im not exactly sure how you would set qos at an OS level, if you do find out how to set it then let me know.
