I have WAMP, Webmail, and Paclink working together on my laptop. I can send/receive mail over HF or VHF. I've got Hamnet 1.0 running on a GS router, and will meet this week with a couple of local hams who also have Hamnet running. My question is: when we hook our laptops to our routers and form the mesh, how do they access the webmail client on my laptop? I do that by typing localhost/ARES_Webmail in the browser. What address would they use to reach this location? Thanks.

I'm assuming that you are all using BBHN 1.0.0. If you're using different firmware, you won't be able to connect. If you're using the old HSMM-MESH firmware, my information about BBHN 1.0.0 won't apply.

I think the answer to your question may depend on how you and your group set up your LANs. If you used the default of 5 direct host, it will be different than if you used NAT. For example, my two nodes are set up to use 5 direct host. My Webserver has a DHCP reservation assigned to the computer name of the webserver. In order to access the webserver from a PC connected to a different node, I only need to type the computer name of the webserver in the URL address box of the web browser. For example, "http://whitebox1" Make certain though that the firewall on the webserver allows traffic through port 80.

Thanks, KV4I. We all use version 1.0. Basic setup is 5 Direct, and I used the add this address to reserved (very handy feature) to reserve an ip for the laptop's MAC. I will check that when we create the mesh. I created an "open port 80 for all domains rule" (is that needed, I wonder, since apache has port rules). So, typing http://BucksPC/ARES_Webmail should reach the mail client from a browser on any machine connected to the mesh?

Yes, unless you configured Apache to use a port other than 80, I would expect it to work. Good luck, Mark KV4I

I bought a second GS for testing. From a netbook connected to that node, http://BucksPC won't connect, but 10.56.13.19 (the reserved address) will. Why is that, I wonder?
