You have no POSTROUTING rules for your wireless clients? So how are you to NAT them onto the internet, you are currently routing them only. Do some tcpdumps and check the packets your passing through.

I can see my access point from other wireless clients but I can't seem to get inet access through hostap. I know it has something to do with iptables and I'm not an iptables guru or anything. Ok here is my setup: Eth0 = Internet Eth1 = Private Net1 Wlan0 = Access Point I can access the internet locally fine but I can't access it from the wireless clients. Below is what I currently have as my iptables setup. Thanx to anyone who can help me get this up. *filter :INPUT DROP [0:0] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] # Accept all traffic from the loopback interface. -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT # Accept legitimate responses to traffic we generate. -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT # Allow inbound DNS requests from the wireless network. -A INPUT -s 0/0 -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 0/0 -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT # Allow inbound DHCP from the Local wireless network -A INPUT -i wlan0 -p udp --dport 67:68 --sport 67:68 -j ACCEPT # Allow all traffic from the LAN to be forwarded to the WLAN. -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o wlan0 -j ACCEPT # Forward all legitimate responses to forwarded traffic. -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT ------------------------------------------------ Sincerely, Landon
