Re: wifi network connection

Thanks Mihira, it works after I rebooted the wifi router.

Thank you for your patient helps.

Kind Regards,

Jim

the ip forwarding is still enabled right ?

Yes, I added net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf

I also tried ifconfig eth1 down and run eth1 by udhcpc, but failed.

$ sudo /sbin/udhcpc -i eth1
udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started
Sending discover...

Sending discover...
Lease failed:
Why are you running dhcp client on eth1 ? its configured with a static IP.

I tried to set static IP down and using dhcp client to test dhcp
server. But, does not make sense.

~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 203.49.70.20
nameserver 139.134.2.190

Did that mean? Why ISP dhcp server did not respose? If that does not
work on my laptop, the wifi router won't get it work either?

ISP dhcp server is not likely to respond to dhcp requests from eth1. your ppp
is getting IPs from your ISP. Not eth1.

Understand.

when both ppp0 and eth1 is up, run the following commands as root:

These commands flushes out any iptables rules:
#iptables --flush
#iptables --table nat --flush
#iptables --delete-chain
#iptables --table nat --delete-chain

These 2 commands gets NAT and forwarding on:
#iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
#iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT

I did those two commands, but still not working.

~$ sudo /sbin/iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT 0 -- anywhere anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Should I make eth1 accept for both INPUT and OUTPUT as well?

Thank you.

Jim
