I have a conundrum.. I'm trying to install tunneling via the instructions here: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/documentation/204-the-tunnel.html


I SSH into the node no problem.. Login, and copy the client line from the above page and tell it to execute.. And get this


root@N9MXQ-GATE:~

# No connectivity! You must have internet access.

Testing internet connectivity...

Would you like to proceed? (Y/N) y

This script installs the vtun client on a FRESHLY installed BBHN Mesh node.BBHN vTUN Client Installer - Version 0.9.1

(Don't know why that pasted upside down)


How is it a node can resolve http://www.broadband-hamnet.org, download the package, and then go on to say it DOESN'T have internet connectivity?

wierd... the connectivity test just pings google dns servers (ping 8.8.8.8). although, the script should have STOPPED if the ping failed.

That's what I can't figure out. It can download the VTUN stuff, even downloaded the 3.1.0 patch over the internet.. But then it says it doesn't have connectivity..

Something sounds like it's blocking pings on your network.

And there it is.. Comcast blocking outgoing pings at the gateway.. You can ping from the gate to the net, but not from a connected device.. 


Which may also explain why my Mesh node set as gateway doesn't have/allow ANY internet connectivity..

That's crazy. I did a quick google and it looks like some Comcast routers have a bug where they were blocking OUTGOING icmp (ping) packets instead of INCOMING icmp. my $0.02 worth... get rid of the Comcast gateway router and get your own. No more leasing, you have full control over your router. I have my own Cable modem and my own router. You can usually get much better quality gear than what they provide.

Unfortunately that's not my decision to make.
