Hi,

 

I'm using the very latest armbian build fpr orangepi+, and i'm trying to nat the network from a wireless interface to another wireless interface. My own LAN works, dns server works too, so i can connect to the orangepi+ but i can't make nat working. Is there some known issue about it, or a custom tutorial for nat with this build?

 

thanks for help

i have these interfaces:

Traceroute is a tool to test network routing. You connect in a shell on a host on lan 192.168.8.0 an do a traceroute to a host behind your router/nat, for example in 192.168.1.x or in Internet.

(apt-get install inetutils-traceroute)

 

Ex : traceroute www.sncf.com

1  192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)  1.607 ms  3.134 ms  2.470 ms
 2  do-5-8-189-207-254.fbx.pad.net (88.111.207.254)  29.190 ms  28.712 ms  29.376 ms
 3  43.228.12.190 (43.228.12.190)  31.137 ms  31.738 ms  31.446 ms
...

...

 

It will send ICMP echo request with a limited and progressive "cross router" allowance (Time To Leave). Then each router in the path will send back an TTL exceeded and the tool will present 1 line per hop that succeed with  3 response time sample. (and * * * when it fails)

 

If you just reach your nat/router and don't see a address ping beyond, then your routing/translation fail. If you get no response or it presents more lines, then it is another problem.

upps sorry i didn't missread your post. well, i only tested this network with android devices. if i ping google dns, than it says that the destination host is unreachable. so for the first time i tried this network with windows and android devices too:
 
Windows:
Tracing route to google-public-dns-a.google.com [8.8.8.8] over maximum 30 hops:
1  *   *  *  Request timed out.
 2  7 ms  8 ms  7 ms  hu-bud02a-ra4-ae54-0.aorta.net [84.116.240.205]
 3  9 ms  7 ms  7 ms 84.116.137.82
 4  7 ms  13 ms  7 ms 72.14.209.116
 5  7 ms  7 ms  7 ms 72.14.238.119
 6  6 ms  7 ms  7 ms  google-public-dns-a.google.com [8.8.8.8]
Android:
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 38 bytes packets
 1  192.168.8.11 (192.168.8.11)  2990.518 ms !H  726.875 ms  !H  2998.021 ms  !H
after this result i tried with an odroid debian 8:
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  192.168.8.13 (192.168.8.13)  2997.242 ms !H  2997.044 ms !H  2996.976 ms !H

so now i really have no idea why it doesn't work with linux os :/

You should verify you netmask and your default router on 192.168.8.11 and 192.168.8.13 !

 

(netstat -rn)

 

Your default router should be 192.168.8.1 if I understand your network configuration and the mask 255.255.255.0

and it is true, i set everything to static in my devices and it is working now. the netstat -rn result is:

 

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
192.168.8.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 wlan1
 
so i guess here the gateway missing is the problem and i think i don't have any default nameserver set on my orangepi+. thanks :)

To point to a nameserver, put 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' in /etc/resolv.conf on your workstations.

 

Your isc-dhcp-server config is probably bad. It should distribute everything properly to your hosts.

 

And if I were you, I would use dnsmasq that can serve as DHCP server and DNS cache/relay server.

 

Nota Bene :

 

"so i guess here the gateway missing is the problem and i think i don't have any default nameserver set on my orangepi+."

 

Your orangepi+ is your nat/router, it doesn't really need to point to a nameserver. A nameserver pointer is just a user interface help to avoid using addresses or fill /etc/hosts. But it is the best place to provide name service for the users worstation (with dnsmasq - much lighter than bind), and in that case you will probably want to fill /etc/resolv.conf on orangepi+

here is my conf file of isc-dhcp-server:

subnet 192.168.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.8.10 192.168.8.254;
        option routers 192.168.8.2;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.8.254;
        option ntp-servers 192.168.8.1;
        option netbios-name-servers 192.168.8.1;
        option netbios-node-type 8;
}
so added the line:
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
and change the router ip to 192.186.8.1. 
and now it is working. 
 
I tried dnsmasq before, but -probably i couldn't configure it properly- it didn't work as dhcp server, so than i decided to change to isc-dhcp-server. Maybe, if i will have time for it, i will try to check the dnsmasq again. Thanks for the help

"option netbios-name-servers 192.168.8.1;"

 

Note sure dnsmasq can do netbios name service ... But with a simple line :

 

dhcp-range=192.168.8.10,192.168.8.254,255.255.255.0,12h

 

it should works. (By default, it will advertise itself as router)
