[OLSR-users] Connecting to a Freifunk net

[David Mitchell]

Good day, meshers

I have a pair of WRT54Gs running Friefunk 1.4.3 talking nicely to each
other. I have installed olsrd ver. 0.4.10 in a laptop running (k)Ubuntu
Edgy. The WRTs have addresses 172.16.30.1 and 172.16.30.5. The laptop
has 172.16.30.45. They all appear to see each other put there is no IP
connection between the laptop and either WRT. Can anyone suggest exactly
where between the keyboard and chair the problem might lie?

Thanks,

David

The olsrd output on the laptop (172.16.30.45) looks like this:
