Martyn,
In regard to the below, I am trying to set up the XS behind a Linksys WRT54G2 router. I think my issue is because eth1 (lanbond0) is set up as network 172.18.96.1/255.255.224.0 (for the XOs) but the server listens on 172.18.0.1 (or I have tried to use the route command to add the router LAN IP as the default gateway but it doesn't work or I did it wrong Could you please tell me what I should use for the LAN settings on the router? The WRT54 settings I am using here at home are .. WAN - static IP, 192.168.1.88 / 255.255.255.0 (external network is 192.168.1.0/24) .. LAN - static IP, 172.18.0.88 / 255.255.255.0 (could it be the netmask? The WRT only allows up that setting , i.e. 255.255.224.0 is not possible) .. Port forwarding, I tried everything, including UPnP forwarding and DMZ Host with 172.18.0.1 as the IP At the moment I can't ping from the XS to the Linksys WAN IP (on the external network). However, I can ping the LAN side (172.18.0.88). Moreover, from a PC connected to the same LAN side of the router, I ACN indeed ping all the way through the router to the external network and beyond. I can also ping the server and if I enter 172.18.0.1 in the browser I get Moodle. So in summary, the PC can send traffic through the router but the server can't. Beats me but I am sure it is the network settings somewhere. I tried this using with the router LAN network set to 172.18.96.0/24 but it didn't work either - I can't ping through the router even with a PC (destination reachable). Note that the PC is given a mask of 255.255.224.0 by the XS DHCP (and DNS server 172.18.0.1) and it's not possible to use that in the router settings. Is this going to be possible? Do I need a better router ? I am going to the remote site today for 7 days, and need to crack this one quickly David Leeming Solomon Islands Rural Link From: server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org [mailto:server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org] On Behalf Of David Leeming Sent: Saturday, 30 October 2010 4:11 p.m. To: 'XS Devel' Cc: 'Mark Flynn'; 'Phill Hardstaff' Subject: [Server-devel] Bridging XS to another network Hello all again, A networking challenge this time. I have an XS at a school where there also exists a wide area private network connecting schools using Wi-Fi. We want those connected schools to be able to access the XS, for various reasons. That network (let's call it network 2) is 192.168.1.0/24 and it is connected with the Internet via a router running NAT and DHCP. The XS local network seems to be quite complicated, I don't fully understand it, but what I need to know is the correct slash designation for the httpd and dns servers at 172.18.0.1 so that I can bridge it to network 2. I am trying to use a Linksys WRT54G2 in DMZ Host mode with the IP address 172.18.0.1 bridged to the external Wan IP address of the WRT (set to 192.168.1.88) The WRT LAN IP setting only allows netmask values of up to 255.255.255.0 and I am worried if there is a mismatch then it could be why I can't get it to work. I also suspect I may have to add something to the apache or routing config on the XS, so as to "listen" on the WRT external IP address At the moment I set the Linksys to WAN - fixed IP 192.168.1.88 / 255.255.255.0 LAN IP address - 172.18.0.88 / 255.255.255.0 (could the net mask be the issue?) Application: DMZ Host, value 172.18.0.1 Required changes to xs apache settings ?????? Trying to connect on the network 2 side using a browser if I enter 192.168.1.88 or 172.18.0.1 it just times out. If anyone reading this recognises what I am trying to do, I'd very much appreciate your advice. David Leeming Solomon Islands Rural Link
