Hi,

I want to flash HSMM firmware V0.4.3 into WRT54G routers  I just picked up for a tunnel linking project.  I read that it's unstable in V1.0.0.

Where can I find the V0.4.3 bin file?  I've only found the trx file to downgrade from the latest version.

Or, do I have to flash V1.0.0. and downgrade? Thanks Ron

If anybodu would like try use distribution of HAMServerPI for very samll computer Raspberry PI

you can cantact with autor DL3DCW (email: hamsrvpi at ruhrlink.org) for access download  link for beta version this disttribution

Rasberyy PI is very nice a present for someone this Christmas

Link: HAMServerPI

Ok DNS working very well in my local BBHN. Now all local Mesh Nodes have information about local dns server which we use to connect amprnet hosts. Now we have full integrated Local BBHN network with AMprnet hamradio network and local users can connect and use servrices not only local but Amprnet 44.x network. We can connect via WIFI with any hosts amprnet like http://db0tv.amr.org etc.

Hi,

I have use on Raspberry PI  "Citadel" http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/doku.php?id=screenshots

it is integrated SMTP/POP3/IMAP/ server which have webmail and BBS.

It is very nice package working very well as local Mial server and users can use WebMail and  BBS

You can see how to intsall  Citadel on RPI:

Hi,

Yes it is possoble. I have run on my Laptop with Ubuntu and I have use HSMM-PI only part of WWW code to show status my BBH station, OLSRD I have installed from sources v0.6.6.1 and use my WIFI card.

You can see on screen dumps

Howdy,

Is it possible to install this on a different linux distro and then have it use a addon wifi card to run a HSMM node?It would be kind of interesting to run it on a laptop and turn that into a node, and would give greater flexibility of hardware.

Howdy,

I was wondering if anyone has given though to perhaps running Synchronet BBS on Raspberry PI over HSMM? It provides a built in IRC, mail, web page, ftp etc. Just kind of throwing it out there for discussion..

My tunnel is up and running. I could ping the local & remote tunnel IP (192.168.80.1 & 80.2) on both routers. Thanks for all your help.

I am moving the following question to another forum, realizing that it's not a VPN issue.

"The remote router is properly resolving the IP addresses however, mine doesn't. All I get is IP address in the current neighbours, nothing listed in the remote nodes. The remote node lists my node properly in both sections. I've checked the resolv.conf file on both and both are identical accept for the Internet gateway IP, which list our own gateway.

My question is what could effect my router from properly resolving the IP addresses?"

I have see that when I have put in olsrd.conf

dns-server ""

in my Mesh node in /etc/reslove.conf found

### this file is overwritten regularly by olsrd
### do not edit

nameserver 10.199.171.232

### written by olsrd at Sat Dec 21 19:44:01 2013

but others DNS server like 44.0.0.1 not included in this file. It is look like in dns-server we can put only one IP address Mesh Node which will be main DNS server

I have must understand how to announce via my main WRT54 DNS servers to others Mesh Nodes.

I have found that in olsr plugin we can put information about main dns server follow:

LoadPlugin "olsrd_nameservice.so.0.3"
{
PlParam "dns-server" "44.0.0.1"

....

but I can not see that working

From help of this plugin:

PlParam "dns-server" "IP.ADDR"
        anounce that this IP has a full (upstream) DNS server. if 
        IP.ADDR is not specified (""), the main address is used.
        nodes which don't know a nameserver will automatically use
        this nameserver.

Hi Jim,

Dunno what email you are using, but make sure to email me at: sm7i.ham@gmail.com I have published that address here before :)

Regarding the NAT, please read the whole thread :)

2 things:

First off, Johann, your email is bouncing:

Second, to use a node directly on your LAN, set it to NAT mode, DISABLE WAN and a Gateway box will appear under LAN settings, to let it talk to your home router/modem appropriately. Then set the node LAN IP into your home LAN's IP range

ex: IP:192.168.0.XXX/mask:255.255.255.0/gateway:192.168.0.1

BUT, once you do this, that same node CANNOT be an internet gateway for your mesh (disabling the WAN port).

I have 2 nodes, where the LAN gateway node is setup like this (let any device on my home LAN talk to the mesh), and then another node that the WAN is on my home LAN, and does the internet gateway functions. The second one is also my tunnel host (since it CAN talk to the internet).

Johan, I may try your tunnel again here, as I found more deep-down settings in my home router that may let it work behind it now. But for now we are using our old style tunnel for the developers (what we used before the 1.0.0 upgrade). I dug deeper and found more detailed static routing functions.

Hi,

If I want to connect from my laptop Ubuntu with WIFI Mesh to any Amprnet host for exmaple http://db0tv.ampr.org I must NAT 10/8 to my IP 44.165.3.254 because AmprNet olny generally allow connect with 44/8 and ip 10/8 is local IP not routed outside local network. Many Amprnet gateways setup firewall that allow only connect 44/8 <-> 44/8
With this my steup any local hamradio node which have IP address from 10/8 can connect with any 44/8 Amprnet hosts via local AmprNet gateway.
On WRT54 I have steup only IPIP link to my main AmprNet GW on raspberry PI which have full encap table for all world amprnet gateway. It is useful because routing table is take memory and it is not useful for WRT54. Better run local Amprnet/Mesh server on for example Raspberry PI which is connected to inetrnet and setup AmprNet GW and local services like we have:

Webserver HAMNET  (Nginx, PHP)
CMS-System web server WWW (GetSimple)
APRS-RX-iGate zDVB-T-Stick (PyMultimonAPRS)
VOIP-Server (Mumble)
Video-Server (Iceast)
SMTP/IMAP server + webmail server (Citadel)
Forum  (myBB)
DXCluster (DXSpider)
Jabber server (Prosody)

With this many servrices running Raspberry PI computer working very well.

I have attached image with idea which I have local Network setup. Instead router mikrotik we can use other router with WFI etc.

You have access to Amprnet you can see http://sp2ong.ampr.org

I´ve got your email and I´ll answer it later tonight.

Why do you want two IPs in your DSL router ? Your node only aquires one IP for its WAN address.

The GRE IPs are used within tunneling hence encapsulated through your WAN interface, never to be seen from that point of view.

You can have any LAN IP you wish (since 0.4.3 does NAT from the LAN to WiFi), but do not change the IP of the WiFi !!

Nice work Waldek,

Why do you do NAT towards the HSMM/BBHN 10.0.0.0/8 network ? This shoudl not be needed and is not allowed inside the network either.

Will you do some documentation of this AMPRnet gateway setup och how to tunnel HSMM/BBHN just like I did the GRE documentation for tunneling ?

I´d like to try to hook up our SM network to AMPRnet as soon as you have some functional documentation.

Waldek, excelent HSMM installation .

Johan: I make the basic mods in my router for establish the vpn links. I send to you and email for answer for the parameters of the link config. I wait your answer.

I have other doubt : 

For config my dsl router ( ports 47&1723 ), my problem is that this home router, don't permit two ips in diferent subnets.

My local lan is in the segment 192.168.0.x , and the lan ip of the mesh node is 172.27.0.1.

I can change the ip of the mesh node to the 192.168.0.x segment ?

73's

ok, Bob it works OK!!!

Ok I have working setup with my WRT54 which is connected to my local AmprNet GW and now any

local Mesh Node can connect to AmprNet hosts

Script setup tunnel where 44.165.3.254 and IP WAN 192.168.1.5 is my WRT54 and 44.165.3.1 is IP interface tun0 on my AMprNet GW server

# AmprNet tunnel
ip tunnel add tun0 mode ipip remote 192.168.1.2 local 192.168.1.5 ttl 255
ifconfig tun0 44.165.3.254 pointopoint 44.165.3.1 mtu 1480 up
route add -net 44.0.0.0/8 gw 44.165.3.1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/8 -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE

I have add on my WRT54 which is AMprNet GW now for Mesh nodes information about default routing 44/8 network via this Mesh Node. In /etc/config.mesh/olsrd.conf I have add in:

Hna4
{
44.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
}
