[Olsr-users] Active copy of the Links/Routing table

[David Murray]

Mr Bernd, your sir, are a genius.

Turns out it was quite a simple problem. As soon as I used strace I got 
the following error message "(TXTINFO) From host(127.0.0.1) not 
allowed!". It never occurred to me that I would have to allow the 
localhost IP address. So I configured 127.0.0.1 as an allowed IP and 
bingo!

While I don't think that I will be trying to collect this information 
from another PC, I am interested to find out why it was not working 
when I was explicitly allowing the IP addresses on connected PC's. My 
testbed nodes have two wireless interfaces. It seems that OLSR works a 
little like OSPF in that it picks the highest IP for its identifier. 
This is the address that I always configured as allowed. Nonetheless, I 
will have a bit more of a play around with it.

Thanks again for your time and effort Bernd

Dave
