[Server-devel] internet gateway setup

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

when running 542 the laptops have two network devices (ignoring the loopback 
device), eth0 and msh0.

eth0 has no ip4 address and msh0 has a 169.254/16 ip4 address, and both have 
ip6 addresses.

For getting ip4 connectivity at the cccamp I setup a schoolserver (with a usb 
marvel wireless device) having a 169.254 address on msh0 and bridging eth0 
(the wired card of the schoolserver) and eth1 (the wireless). Then I ran 
dhclient on the XO on eth0 and got an ip4 address and could browse the web, 
while the mesh between the XOs still worked.

Is that the plan/way to go? Or is eth0 just a virtual, not to be used, device?

Also, when I pinged between XO laptops on the 169.254 addresses all was fine, 
when I did this from the schoolserver I got many duplicates.

Comments? Thoughts?


regards,
	Holger
