Hi, Since everyone seems to like to use the most unusual script with "original" settings without trying ever to understand what's happening, I would remind you that there is a more or less "plug-and-play" solution called amprd... Let's assume a system with: - 44net assignment: 44.128.1.0/24 - WAN on eth0 (let's assume 1.2.3.4) - LAN on eth0 (192.168.1.1/24) - AMPR on eth2 (44.128.1.0/24) - We choose our GW IP to be 44.128.1.1 and that the internet access from the system is already set up, with NAT and default gateway via WAN. Now: 1. compile (make) and install (make install) amprd 2. create the following /etc/amprd.cfg: ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ampr0] prefix = 44.128.1.1 rip_receive = yes rip_save = yes ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Set address 44.128.1.1/24 to your eth2 interface 4. Start amprd. And basically that's it: a fully functional mesh gateway. If you want access from the internet to your subnet, too, instead of just starting amprd, create the following ampr startup script: ----------------------------------------------------------------- amprd ip route add default via 169.228.34.84 dev ampr0 onlink table default ip rule add from 44.128.1.1 table default ip rule add from 44.128.1.1 to 44.128.1.0/24 table main ----------------------------------------------------------------- This should do the trick.
