Fonera Settings?

[Mr-Protocol]

Is there any special settings that need to be done to the jasager like setting a gateway or DNS server? It doesn't seem that traffic is flowing from the victim laptop to the Fon and then to the laptop. Traffic seems to stop before it hits the laptop with ISC/IPTable forwarding.

My Setup:

|||Wireless Vic (192.168.169.101)||| ---> |||Fon (192.168.169.169)||| ---> |||Laptop eth0 Wired (192.168.169.16)||| --->|||IP Forward Wireless wlan0 (possibly wmaster0 ?) Internet Source (192.168.0.105)|||

Should i be setting my DNS and Gateway to 192.168.169.169 in this example? Or should I make the Fon on the same network as my actual WiFi Internet source?

Set the Fon's DNS server (DNSmasq) to give out the gateway and DNS IPs. In /etc/config/dhcp, under the section config dhcp lan, add:

        list 'dhcp_option'      '3,192.168.169.16'
        list 'dhcp_option'      '6,192.168.0.105'

(assuming the internet source acts as a DNS server. Otherwise, substitute 192.168.0.105 for another DNS server, such as OpenDNS or Google's DNS service.

I should have clerified, the "Internet source" is a wireless router I have on my network. I'll give it a shot and see what I can come up with thanks.

And does it matter if my wireless router I'm connecting to for internet has WPA2 on it?

No.

Tried setting the DNS and Gateway as specified. Client still have no internet access... Any ideas?

[Netshroud]

what settings are the client getting? (ifconfig/ipconfig)

Can clients ping the fon?

Can clients ping the laptop?

Can clients ping an address on the other side of the laptop? (Gateway/internet)

client gateway should be the laptop. Check dhcp_option 3 in the dnsmasq config.

Woot, Thanks for your help. For some reason the DNS wasnt working, I was able to ping everything. Changed the DNS address to google's DNS (8.8.8.8) and things started working. Thanks again for your help.
