Internet won't work on browser via LAN TURTLE.

Hi @Mr. #,

could you provide us some more information? With "computer" you mean the computer to which the LanTurtle is connected, right? not the LanTurtle itself?

Can you connect to the LanTurtle from another computer on the network via SSH? What OS is your computer running?

Does the LanTurtle show up as a device in your network connection?

The computer to which the LAN TURTLE is connected to, yes not the LAN TURTLE.

I am running linux, and i am able to SSH into the turtle from another computer on the lan. However, the computer to which the TURTLE is connected to has no internet connectivity. With the turtle connected via ethernet to the computer USB.

i have attached a link of an image, failed to add one here.

Doesn't seem like anyone has come up with a solution yet.


I will say that on both my Macbook and my Ubuntu desktop machine, if I plug the Turtle in, my browser will not connect to the internet. However, if I restart the machine once the Turtle is connected, the browsers will connect afterwards. Chrome always throws a DNS error and I think Firefox did as well. Why would a reboot fix it but spontaneous plugging in renders the internet browsing useless? This could be troublesome for deployment.

Hi, dwagner, I'm probably late, but the problem you are facing is most likely related to the fact that dnsmasq is not told by default to use any external dns servers.

You can force it to use google's just by adding these 2 lines to the end of the /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4

resolv.conf by default is set to 127.0.0.1, meaning that all name resolutions will be handled by the dns server located at 127.0.0.1, which is your instance of dnsmaq. Dnsmasq in turn, with these 2 lines, is told to forward dns queries to those external dns servers.

This may be still not be an ideal setup (probably if you also need to resolve local domain names successfully), but it currently suits my needs.

Just for the record, I have my laptop with wifi turned off, internet fed exclusively by an ethernet cable coming from the router, I disconnect the ethernet (I run out of internet), connect the turtle with default network settings, and connect the ethernet cable into the turtle. After 10 seconds or so, I can browse the internet as usual, and all traffic is coming to/from the turtle, even dns queries.

You can even see that the dns server for my adapter was indeed set to turtle's:

And turtle in turn redirects every query to 8.8.8.8, falling back to 8.8.4.4 in case 8.8.8.8 becomes unreachable.

Hope it helps.
