I have a tunnel connection with someone, who in turn has tunnels with many other nodes.  I see all of these in the mesh status page, but neither his or any of his neighbors will resolve DNS, so I can't connect.  In a tunnel situation, how is my mesh supposed to resolve the IPs?  I know there must be an easy answer, but for some reason I can't connect to any nodes I see remotely because of this.

73,

Steve

Steve, I understand that you see all of the remote tunnel nodes on the mesh status page, but when you click on the links, your PC won't resolve their addresses. The most likely reason this happens is that your computer has more than one network interface (i.e., ethernet and wi-fi). When this happens, your PC will use the wrong interface to try to connect to the remote nodes. Try disconnecting/disabling all except the network interface that you use to connect to your node (probably the ethernet interface) Russ

Thanks for your reply. I see now that DNS is not the problem. I have the wifi adapter disabled, and am plugged into one of my mesh boxes by ethernet. When I do manual lookups of names on the remote mesh nodes, I do get accurate IP results. But something is blocking the connections. I don't know if it's something about the tunnel software or not, but at least ports 80 and 8080 are blocked. I think I'll plug a node into a linux box and do an nmap scan on a couple. That will give me something to go on :) 73, Steve W7RD

Well now it's working. For some reason the node that the tunnel server is on was not connecting to remote nodes. When I jacked in to a different node, everything worked as it should. Now on to improving that asterisk config and coming up with some decent apps :) Steve - W7RD
