Is anyone planning on having a HSMM 2.4 GHz node up in the fleamarket area this year? I have a Bullet I could put on a short mast if there will be some other activity.

A note:

hsmm-mesh is an older SSID.  Users are currently being told that if they see this id they should not expect to be able to mesh to it with latest versions of the software. Conversely if someone has this ID as default it means they are running a older version of the software that doesn't speak to the  versions 1.0.0 and above.

Recommend you consider using the default BroadbandHamnet-v1 SSID. Or at lead add a -v1 to the end to quantify it's a 1.0.0 and up build.

Hope you find some other nodes locally!

Hello all, 

Ive just brought up 2 ubiquity nodes located at kj6dzb-10, the Nanostation loco n2, and Bullet m2 transmiting localy around kj6dzb-10 the SSid its "HSSM-MESH" Ch1. I have a 360' view to point nodes. I just dont know Were other users are with in LOS. 

This is a general call out to others with intrest in establishing LOS links around the East bay, High peeks in SF, Tresure Island, along the coast, to the North bay/mout Tam.

Hams with any HSMM-MESH on 2412mhz or 2m 70cm ax.25 packet??

I bought 2 bullets, a bullet2 and a bullet2hp.

also bought a tp-limk tlant2415 ant.

now what do I do with these because they both have the mac address starting with 0027.

did I waste my money on this ?

I personally have done just that (have a Mesh cam be able to be seen from the internet), but I did porting tricks with the webserver (this same one we are typing into right now) to make it happen.

Its the live cam view at the bottom of the Tower Cam Over Mesh page under Applications menu (and yes, the live view is broke at the moment, but I am looking to fix that right now).

It is NOT a simple task to get initially setup. Definitely something I wouldnt want to do over the phone, email, or forums. Maybe a VNC remote in to a PC on the mesh on the other side, but nothing short of that.

Conrad, that would be cool if there was something in the GUI to turn that on. I may look at that for the Linksys side (I am getting ready for Maker Faire Saturday though...)

Happy Meshing!

What is meant by 'one way' is that you can't access the full mesh from the WAN port and never will be able to (network isolation). 

If you have some Linux skills you can actually do a 'port forward' manually. in the firewall configs (exact settings depend on if its a Ubiquiti or Linksys build)  (A DNAT+SNAT is suggested due to multiple gateways) to forward to an IP address on the MESH that isn't connected directly to the local node.

This is actually the 2nd time this subject has come across my desk this week. Might be something we consider as a feature request for the GUI in a future release if the need is seen.

This (below) is something several of us are struggling with. I've read numerous posts from different people trying to solve this same problem. I've been reading everything on this that I can find and I have yet to find anything that explains sufficiently how to get to devices on the mesh from outside. Several of us on here are trying to do simple things like access cameras on the mesh from computers outside. Several of us keep trying everything we can to get this to work but we seem to be lacking some key piece of information. Who knows the answer?

Time is set by the /etc/init.d/ntpclient script

This script tried to resolve us.pool.ntp.org every 60 seconds to get a time set

You can modify the script to point to your PC or you can just run ntpclient manually as shown in that script.

(self note: we really should change thay it is a bit abusive on the global pool servers )

I have got Windows NTP server going under Windows 8.1 on an HP laptop.  I have opened port 123 for both input and output.  But neither of my WRT54GL mesh nodes get the time from the server when directly connected to the node.

Both nodes appear to work correctly.  It would be nice for the nodes to know the actual  real time, even without an Internet connection or a directly connected GPS .

My Linux knowledge is rusty so I, and doubtless many other new users, would appreciate seeing a few postings of code used for things people have connected.

Issues I see:

1) the WAN and LAN networks can not share the same address space (on the BBHN node)
2) the DD-WRT advanced routing you appear to be telling the DD-WRT to go out via the vlan wan port to reach the network which would conflict with your LAN.

As mentioned a lot of using dd-wrt as a swart switch depends on what hardware you have dd-wrt running on. Example: on a wrt54 you can actually control each individual port and it basically becomes a 'smart switch' with a router.  while on some other hardware ALL ports have to share the same configuration.  (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VLAN_Support)

Lets take a step back

What exactly is the setup you are trying to accomplish?  What do you want people to be able to do and not be able to do on this setup?

I connect to my Mesh router using an Ethernet cable connected to my laptop.  The laptop connects to my home network and hence to the internet using the WiFi port on my laptop.

I find that I cannot be connected to both networks at the same time.  What I would like to do is for my browser session connected to the Mesh to connect only to the mesh node through the Ethernet cable and for all other network connections to take place using the WiFi port thus allowing me to be connected to both networks at the same time.

How do I make this happen?

Tried any of this? http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/WRT54G-firmware-upgrade-failed-can-t-access-neither-internet-or/td-p/608892

I uploaded the mesh firmware to my WRT54GS V2 and had the mesh working smoothly. Noticed some differences in menu presentations with another mesh experimenter in the area related to publishing a service. I noticed the file on the website that claimed to be used to "upgrade an existing mesh node." The result was not what I expected. My router is now running Linksys software (appears to be a late version)  and I cannot re-load the mesh. I attempted to load mesh software for WRT54GS (What I had previously loaded) and also WRT54GS_V4. Neither succeeds.

Suggestions?
