I’m doing my best to follow the various recommendations I am reading, but I am struggling. The last thing I tried was setting the default gateway to = the drive IP. Now both the drive IP address and default gateway are 192.168.1.102. The gateway was 192.168.1.1
Just to make sure everything stuck, I rebooted my PC, and next I tried following the directions again. And I got this:

Your gateway was fine. You downloaded the files fine at first, right?
try doing an “ipkg remove mss-ld-so” and see if you can then install ncurses and nano.
Also, you’ll need to use putty (google for it) rather than windows telnet in order to edit the files you need.
