[Olsr-users] Cannot communicate 2 hops away

[RC Loh]

Hi Henning, Markus,

I did the same experiment with 3 LINUX machines and realised that the 2 
furthest LINUX machines are able to communicate via the middle LINUX machine.

I begin to suspect it is the MacBook Pro OSX that was causing the problems that 
I had previously.

May I know what version of OSX that the OLSRD 0.6.0 has been tested on?

Thank you.

Rdgs,
Paul

Hi Henning and all,

Thank you very much for all your advise.

Attached is the screen capture for "olsrd -v" and "tcpdump" taken from 
10.10.10.15.

I have also attached the routing tables of Mac12 and Mac13 when 10.10.10.13 
cannot PING to 10.10.10.15 via 10.10.10.12.

I have checked the following:
1) Set all the "firewall"s on all the 3 MacBook to OFF.

2) The ip forwarding is ON for all the 3 MacBook by using the command "sysctl -a 
| grep forwarding" and it gave net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

Hi Markus,

From what I checked from the OLRDS web site, the version 0.6.0 is the latest 
stable version.


Rdgs,
Paul

A few standard questions first... *G*

1.) what version of olsrd did you use ? (run "olsrd -v")
2.) what was the routing table when mac 13 and mac 15 could not hear each 
other ?
3) did you receive OLSR packets on all three nodes (check with "tcpdump -i 
<interface> -s 0 -vv port 698")
