Actually, now that I dig in, it only seems to be routing dns traffic. That is, I tried to ping the wireless interface from my daughter's computer and got a network not reachable or down result of some sort. (I didn't write the exact message down, and my daughter's at school so I can't use her computer.) But my logs on the netbook that is running hostapd and dnsmasq show quite a bit of dns traffic, lots of queries returning successful results. > Things to check: > > - ping from your netbook to the outside world No problem there. > - ping from a wifi client through the netbook to the outside > world That also got network not reachable or down or something. > if those work, > > - wget -O /dev/null http://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin > - and on a wifi client I tried that in bridge configuration just now and I'm only getting one percent every twenty to thirty seconds. The non-bridged configuration doesn't even read the mail to look at the url. -- Joel Rees One of these days I'll get someone to pay me to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C. Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef, run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define, and stop all integer size bugs with my bare cast. http://defining-computers.blogspot.com/2017/06/reinventing-computers.html More of my delusions: http://reiisi.blogspot.com/2017/05/do-not-pay-modern-danegeld-ransomware.html http://reiisi.blogspot.jp/p/novels-i-am-writing.html
