Thanks for your answers :-)

I am now trying to set up routing to the internet without much success.

On one machine I have a second interface (eth0) which is wired to a 
gateway on IP 192.168.1.1. In the config file I uncommented the HNA4 
rule and tried both 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 and 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 
without success.

I don't understand the HNA4 line, and I am wondering if I have to use 
iptables to do tunnelling or whether OLSR takes care of this. Should I 
add the other interface eth0 to the list in the config file ?

Some more explanation about configuring internet gateways would be welcome.

Thanks,
Salsaman.
