no connection via wifi
« on: October 30, 2006, 05:19:50 pm »
Hi, I followed the directions to set up chillspot but can get wifi to work. When I try to connect it gives me an ip but fails to connect to the internet. What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated

This ip is given by chillispot. This mean that your wifi is working.
Can your router connect to the internet? (step 2 of troubleshooting)
What about other steps?
Did you launch your chilli process in debug mode?

I can only access the internet on lan. On wifi it wont let me connect to anything including the router. Im not sure why cause before i activated chillspot everything was working like normal. The only setting I have changed have been those to clone my mac so that I can connect to the internet because I have comcast. How do you run debug?

still in the troubleshooting section, what gives the ping google.com command in the telnet/ssh?
Are you sure that you connected your internet on the internet port?
I don't know if chillispot works with the clone command. Can anyone else confirm?

Please follow ALL steps of the troubleshooting section (and report for each...), I need more infos to help you.

Well from lan pinging google gets me:

64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=234 time=57.5 ms

--- google.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 57.5/58.2/58.7 ms

Now from wlan i get server not found. Once i turn off chillispot, wifi is back up and works but once it is enabled I cant find server and have no connection. Any idea what could be causing this?

I tried doing the kill command but there are several  "/usr/sbin/chilli -c /tmp/chilli.conf" and they come right back after being killed. The  chilli -c /tmp/conf -fd command returns a "
chillispot: Error opening conf_iguration file '/tmp/conf'" every time.

Well from lan pinging google gets me:
Sorry if it was not clear. The ping should be done inside the router, not in your pc. This checks that your router dns is correct, and that it is correctly configured for the internet.

It seems that dd-wrt monitor process and automatically restart them. try to kill the "process_monitor" process.
Then kill the chilli processes.
To start chillispot in debug mode, sorry again, this was a typo in the troubleshooting post.
Please try
chlili -fd -c /tmp/chilli.conf
***edit again: chilli has 2 l  :-[***
chilli -fd -c /tmp/chilli.conf

This seems like its getting way too complicated, I dont even know what I am doing anymore.

Here is what I do know:
1. My wrt54gl is flashed with ddwrt v23 sp2.
2. Everything is factory default except the option to turn on mac cloning because I have comcast ISP
3. I am able to connect to the internet with lan & wlan no problems.
4. Once I enable Chillispot wlan DOES NOT work. I am assigned an chillispot ip but thats it. I am unable to connect to the router or internet via wifi. I get the same "server not found" screen every time while running chillispot.
5. Once i disable chillispot wifi works and I am able to connect to the internet and router without any problems.

I dont know how to use debug mode but after typing the command chlili -fd -c /tmp/chilli.conf I got
sh: eval: 1: chlili: not found

Please advise me on what to do next. I just want this thing to work.....

Wher do you have this mesage? in the web browser?
What is displayed in the address bar?
Seems like a dns problem but I'm not sure.
Could you check that you don't have a dns configured in your client pc?
Maybe you could enable the AnyDNS option in dd-wrt chillispot.

Could you please telnet/ssh to your router, and type ping google.com inside the router's shell and tell if it works.

I get the "server not found" when i try to access any page through the web browser. I can not access google or my router (192.168.1.1) once i turn on chillispot.

Everything is is factory default. I do not know how to configure the dns but if it could possibly fix my problem tell me how and make sure to mention which tab its under.

I can not telnet the router with chillispot activated. Again once chillispot is activated all it does it assign an ip and leaves the wifi device with no connection.

the debug mode return this
chillispot[6572]: ChilliSpot 1.0. Copyright 2002-2005 Mondru AB. Licensed under GPL. See http://www.chillispot.org for credits.
chillispot[6572]: redir.c: 658: UAM port already in use. Waiting for retry.

If you have a dhcp assigned ip, the dns should come with. That's why you don't get the dns setting.

it looks like a dns problem. could you check your dns setting in your pc.

You still did not tell me if the ping google.com works in your router shell! How many times should I repeat?

This means that another chilli process is running
please kill them all before trying that. then retry to connect

I can not connect to my router with chillispot enabled. How am i supposed to ping from inside router if i cant connect to it?

Do you have any ideas on how to fix the problem? I appreciate the help but this seems like its going no where.....

How did you make all the tests above?
You connect your pc on the lan, telnet the router with putty, and type ping google.com.
also type
ifconfig
cat /etc/resolv.conf
and try to run chillispot in debug mode adter killing the process.

There have been more than 200 hotspots which succesfully connected in the logs, yours should work too.
Do you have another router to put between your modem and your hotspot?

I am having trouble with the debug mode. From what I understand I'm supposed to go to the command Shell in the router and type "ps". Then find the "process_monitor" and kill it, but afterward if i do "ps" the "process_monitor" is back. Let me know if Im doing anything wrong. Also can you please explain what the point of debug mode is? I know the general idea is to see whats happening but I dont know what to look for.

I do not have another router between me and the modem. It goes
internet -> modem -> wrt54gl with ddwrt -> computer

Let me know whats next :)
