Negative.

OpenWRT's Kamikaze 7.09 (which is what BBHN uses) was made before ubiquiti came into the market, so it is not supported. If BBHN was utilizing newer firmware source code from OpenWRT, it would be supported. It is not a fast task to port BBHN to a newer OpenWRT build, but it can be done (I am slowly working on it).

what is the reson for this? is it a copy right thing?

Just in case others run into the same issue, I've edited my original post to include the SOLUTION I discovered before anyone had a chance to respond.

It really helps to use the IP address of the 'server' and not the node itself! Now that the default mode is '5 Direct' you have to take that into account.  Before with a DMZ of one machine it wasn't an issue.

I learn a lot more when things don't work right the first time! :-)

Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Below is my original post:

Guys (and Gals),

I must be missing something here.

Using the old HSMM-MESH software I could connect from a PC on one node to a 'server' on another node to get access to files on the server.  Used this with great success from 4 PCs and a server on the 5th node to run Field Day Logging software on Field Day.

Now that I have upgraded to the newer BroadBand-Hamnet. I am no longer able to connect to my server from any other node.

What have I missed, or screwed up?

K2MTS-1 and -3 are both online.

-3 is currently at my QTH for some testing, but will be moved to its permanent home in downtown Troy this week. Both have been added to the Google Map here on hsmm-mesh.org. I don't know how successful this particular location will be, but since it's a place I'm free to set up a node, I figure I may as well! If I can ever get it on the roof of the building, I will, however this is probably unlikely.

I have much more exciting plans for the -1 node, however... Where is -2, you ask? Coming soon!

In Windows XP, there is a different procedure. See the below link:

Yeah, I remember seeing that thread. Got me looking at the 'puters real hard. I'm pretty sure it's something similar, but both of these are running XP, which don't recognize that particular command.

I've got firewall(s) off, I think. The odd thing is, both work fine on the wireless interface, wifi through my home router, but act hinky on the wired interface through the Linksys nodes. Even if they're plugged into the same node, which is the same as using a hub in direct mode. I use ping a lot to test routing and switching stuff.

Ideally, I'd like these nodes to be as simple as possible; plug in a computer, attach to a server or other computer by name, without making any configuration changes to the computers or servers. Simple is good.

-- Time to get the big rubber mallett out...

Use the respective *.bin file.

Hey Guys!

I recently purchased a WRT54GS V2 but was not aware that it had been upgraded to Tomato 1.28  I am able to login to the router but decieded to wait and ask so that I dont brick this router.  Do I use the .bin file and flash over the Tomato or one of the others used for routers already running HSMM-MESH?  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

For anyone that is interested.  I am Idling in #broadband-hamnet on irc.freenode.net

If anyone is interested in chatting drop by and say hello.  As I am busy a lot I drop by from time to time to day hey.  So... as with irc in general dont run away in 2min if no one answers.

I have two nodes, in 5 port direct mode, with a computer attached to each node. After finally getting a clue about the dns entries, I can now run IPerf between the two computers by name. I can't ping from one to the other computer at all, however. By name or IP. I can ping the nodes, but any ping sent between computers is returned timed out. Pretty sure it isn't the computers (running XP home, by the way) cuz when I unplug 'em from the nodes and plug 'em into a hub they can ping each other just fine.

Did a search here, and found some suggestions re: firewalls, ICMP enabled or not etc., but so far no joy.

I miss my ping. Any suggestions? Probably something really obvious...

Hi all,

This is Ken KD6PGI, sysop and digital coordinator for the KA7HRC Hood River County ARES BPQ32 digital packet system. We have had an interest in converting part of our network over to mesh for the past 2 years and are now beginning to conduct tests for replacing our 1200 baud packet links with mesh nodes on our local digital network. We have 2 full services BPQ32 BBS systems running in Hood River County. I presently have 2 mesh nodes up and running in test mode while we investigate longer distance links.

The goal is to establish 5-6 functioning mesh nodes for linking BBS systems and providing additional IP functions in strategic locations in the county.

I've done nothing special to the set up in either Linphone or Kphone.

Only did the minimal set up required to get them running.

As for set up to use hsmm-mesh, you'll have to go into your router and open the correct port for

these programs.

To connect to the other laptop, I have been using the IP address of the other computer to direct the calls

properly.  If I remember correctly, I could even connect to the other laptop using <sip:w8iss@w8iss-100>

or <sip:w8iss@w8iss-101>.

Hope this helps.
