wireless repeater: ping hosts from wan port to wlan

Post by cotarelo »

Hello all, :D

I set up correctly a wireless Wireless Bridge/Repeater with Gargoyle in la Fonera 2100 (atheros wlan and 1lan).

I have one host (192.168.1.247) connected to the wan port (ethernet) of the gargoyle and one wireless host connected through the wifi (192.168.1.246) to the gargoyle (192.168.1.254).

Everything works fine and each host can access to internet and to the hosts that are on the neighbour lan(192.168.1.0/24), but I cant ping or connect from the wireless client to the lan client.

I have to say that if I ssh to the gargoyle, from it I can connect to both, so, I can connect from the wireless host to the gargoyle by ssh and then, inside the prompt I can ssh to the lan host. However I want full communication between the hosts.

Googling, I have tried making a bridge with the command

Code: Select all

brctl stp br-lan on
and also tried to make a iptables rule

Code: Select all

iptables -I zone_lan_forward -i br-lan -o br-lan -j ACCEPT
But none worked. Here is the output of ifconfig

Code: Select all

Anybody which has enabled the wireless bridge can tell me if he can from a wlan host to a cabled (lan) host?
