Ping problems...

[TheFox]

Hi All.

I recently setup a link to a friend of mine, its two WRT routers with Grids 250m apart.

Heres how its configured. My lan range is 172.18.129.48/28 and his is 172.18.129.144/28.

Both ranges are routed to ether1 on the routerboard. My RB has two IPs for the ether1 namely 172.18.129.62 and 129.158

My WRT is 172.18.129.157

His WRT is 172.18.129.156 GW is 158 ( it was 157 but that didnt work either)

and His pc is 172.18.129.155 GW is 158 too now (156 didnt help either)

Here lies the problem.
I can ping his pc perfectly, but not his WRT

My WRT is in AP mode, and his is in Bridge mode

Any ideas what the problem could be?

are the subnet on his wrt 255.255.255.240? the gateway on his wrt should be 172.18.129.158 (as it is) everything should be fine :-/

Turns out the problem was too many settings for a new user to enter, or miscommunication, or the save/apply combination wasnt done right on the WRT, anyways, seems routing is fine now.

Thanks johannes, we had the subnets right at least.

Right, so nou kan jy vir ons 'n ordentlike step-by-step howto daaroor skryf dat almal kan sien hoe om dit te doen ;)

[TheFox]

Neewat, ekt vir howtos van die wug af gevra (daai tyd), en niemand het gereply nie, hulle kan maar op IRC kom howto.

[Johnny]

haha, seker maar net oor daar nog nie so 'n howto bestaan nie

[TheFox]

Nee, ek meen ekt vir howto's gevra oor enige topic. En ek het 'n grand total van 0 replies gekry

[Johnny]

Ek's jammer ek het jou versoek gemis, anders kon ek darem vir jou 1 hotwo gegee het

[TheFox]

Hehe, jou howto is al gedoen, en goed gedoen ook.
