Hello,

I'm curious to find out how many users of HSMM-MESH are in Utah.  What city/county are you in?  Is there any interest in creating a large mesh if possible?

I am located in Salt Lake County.  The city of Riverton to be exact.  I am starting the work to get HSMM-MESH used in Salt Lake County ARES (http://www.slcoares.net/).

I would love to hear from other Utah mesh users.

The Davis County Amateur Radio Club has a group that is now working on this topic. See: http://www.dcarc.net/go/

I hope this helps.

Dennis,
Try putting the IP of each laptop into the DMZ of each router and see if that works.

That removes any port forwarding possibilities.

If THAT works, then you could research what ports need to be forwarded in the firewall (if you desire to tighten things up a bit)

If that still doesnt work, I would check firewall/permissions on each laptop.

Maybe even move both laptops to the same physical LAN (plug both into the same node) to check to see that they CAN talk to each other properly first.

I ran into an issue when playing with VoIP, that when on the same LAN, no problems at all, but move an ATA behind another node, and blammo... I get hit with problems to work out.

Let me/us know how it goes with that, as Im always wanting to hear solutions.

Thanks and 73

Dennis,

Focus Video Phone uses Port 4500 and offers no way to select any alternative ports. If you use port forwarding as I did, this limits you to one Focus Video Phone station on each MESH node.

I've gotten Focus Video Phone working by doing the following. In the setup for each MESH node to which a Focus Video Phone computer is connected:

- assign a DHCP reservation for the computer that is hosting Focus Video Phone

- enable Port Forwarding over Port 4500 to the computer hosting Focus Video Phone. 73 Mark KV4I

I have a node in Riverton.  It would be interesting to see if we could get the Murray, South Jordan and Riverton nodes linked up.  I suspect this would take a central (hub) node of some height though.  Most nodes at valley level will be blocked by trees and buildings.

I have 2 WRT54GS and 3 WRT54G units that I have flashed. There are two more on the shelf that I have not touched. Those two might be up for trade. I have been working on tripod antenna poles. I have been thinking a couple of base units and some portable units. Antennas seem to be the problem. Doug k5hmy@arrl.net

Greetings,

I am brand new to this having attended a recent state RACES convention where Mesh was presented.  I got really jazzed and bought 4 routers off Ebay that arrived today.  One is a WRT54G Version 3 and the other three are WRT54GS Version 1 units.  All are running DD-WRT v24 SP2.  I was ready to flash the first one with mesh using the Admin/Firmware Upgrade when I vaguely remembered that you have to do something to dd-wrt first (erase parameters?  Killer?) so I stopped and started this post.

What is needed to mesh these units?  It looks like there are 3 nodes in the SL Valley so hopefully I can connect to someone.  I plan to mount one node outside, another in the shack, and setup two for portable use in public service situation.

Any help is appreciated
