[Olsr-users] OLSR daemon starting and running issues. Causing an error.

Olsr can only work if your nodes form a continuous mesh. That means
there must be a path of nodes to the destination who each can ping the
next/previous node along the path.

If some parts of your network (in this case Node 0) cannot ping any
node of the rest of the network, Olsr cannot help you.

I suggest you check your link-layer (hop-by-hop) connectivity.
