WDS setup using Gargoyle

[QLink]

so what could be the problem ?

dunno where i can disable the firewall, but i haven't enable it anyway, or is it activated as default ?
at the firewall tab i couldn't find any option which, looked like firewall disable or smething like that...

It's indeed a problem.
Firewall is activated by default.
There is no option in Firewall settings to disable it.
In my opinion this should be fixed, by adding option to disable firewall.

There is such an option (to disable firewall) in OpenWrt Backfire.
Until Gargoyle is fixed: you may load OpenWrt 10.03.1, check firewall settings in /etc/config/ via command line (telnet/ssh), than disable firewall and see what has been changed in config files.

Things are becoming really tricky.
WDS between WR841ND/OpenWrt and WR1043ND/Factory firmware was not working for me.
I upgraded OpenWrt to Gargoyle 1.3.7
WDS between WR841ND/Gargoyle and WR1043ND/Factory firmware is working.
But there is no option to disable firewall in Gargoyle.

Besides, it seems there is a problem either with packet forwarding, firewall settings, or PPPoE connection, in (WR841ND, WR1043ND)/Gargoyle. This is discussed in this thread.

If you have Router 1 - 192.168.1.1
and Router 2 - 192.168.1.2

You could try this:

On the 192.168.1.1 router - goto the DMZ setting and
put the IP - 192.168.1.2 in there.

That disables firewall for ONLY the 192.168.1.2 router

192.168.1.1 will still be fire-walled

Can you try from command line:

Code: Select all

#/etc/init.d/firewall disable
