You didn't mention if you reconfigured your gateway (in Fedora in
/etc/sysconfig/network)

Subject: [Techtalk] problem with wireless/LAN router
This is my Week of Things Not Working. After overhauling my router/WAP, I
have
internet for all LAN hosts, but they cannot see each other.
On my home network I had a separate wireless access point and router, like
this:
dsl modem -> switch ->|Linux router
|Linux WAP
|LAN hosts
|
|
Which worked just fine. Then I decided to consolidate the WAP and router
into
one. Which I have done often, but I'm missing something because it's not
working. It's set up like this:
LAN IP = 192.168.1.25
br0 = ath0 bridged to eth0
WAN IP = 22.33.44.55
eth1
I have forwarding enabled in sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
iptables has these rules:
#Enable unrestricted outgoing traffic, incoming
#is restricted to locally-initiated sessions only
$ipt -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
$ipt -A FORWARD -i $WAN_IFACE -o $LAN_IFACE -m state --state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$ipt -A FORWARD -i $LAN_IFACE -o $WAN_IFACE -m state --state
NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Same old rules I always use, and yes I changed $LAN_IFACE to br0. Wired and
wireless clients all get Internet and DHCP/DNS from the router. But they
don't see each other.
Hints? Answers? Huge wads of cash so I can retire and not worry about this
stuff?
