So lightening talks through smoker right? That is, lightening is not |
| 25 |
connected to the modem? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Is smoker running a DNS server? |
| 28 |
Does /etc/resolv.conf on smoker point to that local DNS server and lookups |
| 29 |
work? |
| 30 |
What is in /etc/resolv.conf on lightening? |
| 31 |
Is IP forwarding enabled on smoker? |
| 32 |

If you're correct then ip forwarding is off; |
| 41 |
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_foward should be 1. If its 0 then smoker is not |
| 42 |
routing, and you need to make it do that! |
