[Olsr-users] Mesh network

[Sahana k.srinivas]

Hi,


Thank you for your response.

The client can ping the router to which it is connected but the router
cannot ping its client.

No, I did not set the IP address as HNA in olsrd. Will do that and check
the results.

And the 3rd point, Sorry I dint get you! Should a route be set? Or does a
default route exist?


Regards,
Sahana
