[OLSR-users] DHCP on an OLSR net

[Tim Martin]

I tried that and it worked quite well.  My DHCP server and the 
requesting client could only communicate through an MPR and the client 
received a DHCP address with no problem.  I only had that setup working 
for one day and I tested the DHCP acquisition  3 or 4 times and it 
worked each time.  Right now I have a large antenna, about 25 feet above 
ground level, connected to my HNA.  There really has been no need for 
OLSR but I'm still using it anyway for when/if there is a need for it.  
As things are I haven't had the opportunity to further test DHCP through 
an MPR.
