problems with gargoyle as wlan client bridge

[smiler]

Hello,

first, thank you for this great router firmware!
set up as an client bridge was so easy I couldn't believe it.

I don't know wether the problem is really located inside gargoyle, but I have to start somewhere to ask for help

the strangeness completes itself because in the beginning it worked perfectly, but it stopped without changing something from my side (ok i can't remember that I changed something)

So, lets me start with my setup:

I have a WNDR3700 running with openwrt 10.03.1-rc4 as router and WLAN AP with IP 172.10.1.1. Some clients (Laptops and my PS3) are connected to this device using wlan with wpa2. This works fine without problems.

I have additionally a WRT54GS with latest Gargoyle configured as wlan client bridge (IP 172.20.10.2). On this device is my desktop connected (cable, IP 172.20.50.3)

From the desktop I can connect to the internet I can access the client bridge and the router, But I can't access any other clients, connected to the router (no ping, no ssh, nothing)
From the router I can ping the client bridge, and the clients connected to the client bridge.
From the clients connected with wlan to the router I can't access (ping, ssh, whatever) the client bridge and the clients connected to the client bridge device.

This comes out, when I try to ping from a client in the wlan to the client behind the wlan client bridge:

Code: Select all

smiler@debian:~$ ping arwen
PING arwen.gefaehrten.home (172.20.50.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
From galadriel-wl.gefaehrten.home (172.20.51.2) icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable

From galadriel-wl.gefaehrten.home (172.20.51.2) icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
^C

a running tcpdump on the router show the following:

Code: Select all

root@gimli:/etc/config# tcpdump -vv -nn -i any  host 172.20.51.2 and host 172.20.50.3

But unfortunately I cannot going further with this information


But one week ago it worked! I installed mediatomb on my desktop and streamed some tv series for watching on my ps3. It worked!
But now it doesn't work anymore!

Can someone help me to solve this problem?
I don't want to blame gargoyle, perhaps it's a PEBCAK or another problem.

Thank you for reading

Hello,

OK I have to answer myself.
The problem I was talking about in the previous post must be a bug in gargoyle or a kind of misconfiguration by myself. With gargoyle 1.42 and now with gargoyle 1.50 everything works fine now, except upnp media streaming and wake on lan (see my other posts)

best regards
