My laptop is connected to a distant wireless signal with a strong |
| 2 |
antenna and I'd like to create a local wireless LAN using the distant |
| 3 |
wireless signal as the WAN. The layout would look something like |
| 4 |
this: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
WAN->(wireless)->laptop1->(ethernet)->router->(wireless)->laptop2 |

My travel router is wireless, has a LAN port, and can operate in |
| 9 |
Router, Client, or AP mode. I think AP mode is what I want. laptop2 |
| 10 |
can ping the router, but it can't ping laptop1. laptop1 can't ping |
| 11 |
the router. I don't know what my communication problem is between the |
| 12 |
router and laptop1. Here is my eth0 config for laptop1: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" ) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The travel router is in AP mode and configured like this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
IP: 192.168.0.30 |
| 19 |
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 |
| 20 |
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I have dnsmasq and shorewall on laptop1 for DNS and NAT, but I can't |
| 23 |
use those until I get laptop1 talking to the router. Does anyone see |
| 24 |
what I'm doing wrong? |
