ROBIN - Open Source Mesh Network

I am having an issue on some of my routers that are keeping client PCs from ping addresses at the other end of the mesh.

If I ping 192.168.1.10 it responds:
Reply from 101.166.244.1: Destination port unreachable.
But I am able to RDP to 192.168.1.10, however not being able to ping kills some of my other applications.

When I run:
/etc/init.d/iprules stop
/etc/init.d/iprules start

Pings magically start to go through.

I am using the OMP1 as a kind of bridge with a workstation on the wired port that needs to get back to a server on the main network. In the dashboard I do NOT have Gateway LAN Block: checked. I have Autoupdates enabled, and have forced update and upgrade in the shell.

I tried to build a custom.sh to just run the commands above, but they dont seem to run, and traffic is still blocked, my script looks like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/iprules stop
/etc/init.d/iprules start

Is there any way to get this working right - either by a custom.sh, or some update?

I'll check that issue, anyway, running

you break the captive portal.

I am not using any captive portal - how can I allow pings through my LAN?

Is there any way to fix this? How can I make the custom.sh script properly run these commands?

I put this in my custom.sh, but it does not seem to help as nodes still randomly block pings to the main LAN.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "*/3 * * * * /etc/init.d/iprules stop" >> /etc/crontabs/root

I guess I will have forget about Openmesh - nobody can help me with this, the firewall will not stay off, it keeps blocking local access which is hurting my users a great deal.

Looks like a great product for people looking to setup just wireless hotspots to the internet.

Try R2690, I'm sure it'll help, 2671 has inherent issues IMO

I dont see that version anywhere in the download section:

Is that still a beta firmware?

If I set my dashboard to Auto upgrade will it get this firmware?

if I enable test firmware in my dashboard - will it use that one?

so that did nothing, r2690 has the same issue.

I kind of figured out the symptoms - if a wireless workstation tries to ping something on the lan, traffic gets dropped - but as soon as that station tries to browse the web, then pings will start passing to the lan also.

Unfortunately I have no more time to be down, so I have no more Openmesh nodes on my network.
