I get all the way to the section where it says I need to run 'sudo
./findpass.sh', and it gives me output of 'Tunnel Socket: Setting
SO_BINDTODEVICE: No suck device'.
The instructions I am following are at:
http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Linux_Gateway_Example#Setting_up_the_Tunne…
And I am to the section of ' Finding the password for AMPR-RIPD"
The only section that had an issue during this process is the
isc-dhcp-server will not start. I don't believe this should make any
difference, other than if I have a client on my Ham Network that needs
DHCP, but I plan to statically assign those devices.. so I believe that
point should be moot.
My installation is Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
I only have 2 interface.. eth0 (outside WAN address from ISP. One of my /29
allocations) and eth1 (inside 192.168.44.0/24)
I know enough to make my way around, but am not normally a linux guy!! Let
me know what other info would be helpful to share out, so we can get this
one going.
Thanks guys!!

Thanks for the reply's guys. Lynnwood.. I have Ubuntu installed and working
on my network (outside address as to not have anything blocking right
now!!), but when it came time for the box to listen to the AMPR RIP
broadcasts, I never did see anything. The notes say to let it sit for a
little bit.. I let it sit for two days before I got back to it! :)
So.. I haven't been diligently working on it, that's on me. But something
seemed to go awry. Dangit. That's on me toooooo!! :(
I'll try and get back to it over the next few days, and report back again.
But if there are any ideas off the tops of ones heads.. Hit me with your
best shot.. Fire Away!!
Thanks.

Yes, but since the machine is a standard Ubuntu Linux Server machine,
I'm not sure how an OVA will help you. You still have to assign your IP
addresses, turn on routing, etc. per the instructions in the Wiki.
In the time it would take you to transfer it the file, you could simply
have the same thing by running the ISO on a fresh VM.
Are you having issues with setup?

Has anyone built an OVA of a VM used for an AMPR Gateway yet? Or has anyone
Exported their local VM that they would be willing to share?
*Disclaimer:* Yes.. I realize it is easy to build a host(though my attempt
so far has failed). But If someone has already put in the work to build a
VM, I'm willing to piggyback in their expertise in what they've built.
Thank you!!

That only works when you have made special arrangements (policy routing)
to make sure the Echolink traffic is ALWAYS sent to the NAT device and never
routed directly. See what I explained to Gustavo.

That does not require 2 cards (you can put 2 addresses on 1 card), and it is
basically the same as the policy routing method, in this case using the IP
address as the base for the policy routing.
In practice it can be more difficult to implement because you need to force
the Echolink application to bind to the correct card address. Fortunately
Svxlink can do that, but many other programs cannot.

Look at our repeaters, e.g. PI2NOS
It is registered on the Echolink system using its own address 44.137.72.130 (pi2nos.ampr.org).
Therefore this problem does not occur here.

Yes, for "normal traffic" it works OK. But not for Echolink.
This is because Echolink has a directory server that registers your repeater
by IP address, and this address does not match the actual address.
When you get connected by someone from plain internet, it works OK because the route
back is through the same NAT router, where you have defined port forwarding for the
5198 and 5199 ports, and the users sees the same translated address as the Echolink system
registered.
However, when I connect from my address 44.137.41.97, the repeater or another part of
the system thinks it is being clever and routes the traffic through a IPIP tunnel,
the address does not get translated, and the connection fails.
The quick way to solve it is to give your repeater some RFC1918 address (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x)
so its traffic is always forced through the NAT router. Alternatively, you can setup some
policy routing so the Echolink traffic is always sent to the NAT router, not routed directly.
Then you can still use AMPRnet on the same computer for other things.
The way we solved it here is by applying for BGP routing of our subnet, so our net-44 traffic
is routed directly on internet and it is no problem to run an Echolink repeater on it.
(the subject of this thread: will routing through UCSD cause problems with VoIP. yes it will,
but we don't route through UCSD so we don't have that problem)
