Hi all,

I am new to BBHN.....great technology!  Whoever dreamed this up is a genius.

I have a mesh node up with a Raspberry Pi computer attached.  I have installed a web server on the R-Pi which is working, but I am unable to advertise it as a service.  I have looked and looked through all the docs and can't find any details on how to advertise a service.

I have a DHCP reservation setup for the raspberry pi computer , and it (the R-Pi) shows up on the mesh status page.  I also setup a service for the web server on the setup page, with the link box checked, but the service does not show up on the mesh status.  I have tried both with and without doing port forwarding on port 80, again to no avail.

I have also tried to setup the server with the name of the P-Pi and the mesh node name as the URL, but neither works.  I'm stumped at the moment.  I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but can't figure it out.  The LAN mode is set as 5 host Direct.

I'm very interested in setting up a mesh for our county ARES to serve a couple hospitals as well as any other emergency services that want to jump on board, like Fire or EMS.  One of my goals is to enable email to an RMS gateway to allow email to the rest of the world from within our local mesh.

Any help this forum can provide will be greatly appreciated.

After more searching, I seem to have found my answer in another forum post.  Apparently, you must have more than one node before a service is advertised.  Interesting.  Lucky for me another unit is in the mail to me now.
