[OLSR-users] Using the mesh to connect to the internet

[Soumendra Nanda]

Hi

Does anyone have any more experience using OLSR for sharing an
internet connection or specific suggestions?
I tried loading the dynamic gw plugin at the router and have enabled
the ipv4 forwarding bit and .
I am still unable to ping hosts outside my class C address. Do I have
to setup some fwding rules in iptables for the NAT translation to
work?

Thanks
S Nanda
