piratebox.lan not redirected to 192.168.1.1 on MR3020

I installed the latest piratebox on MR3020. Everything seems to work fine except one single thing: apparently the piratebox cannot be accessed as

http://piratebox.lan/...

but only

http://192.168.1.1/...

. The side effects are:

- the main page is not showing the chat window, but it shows a firefox error

unable to connect... can't establish a connexion at [piratebox.lan]

- the links "learn about the project" and "browse and DL files here" are not working, but showing a similar error.

... but I can access all these functions if replacing the addresse by 192.168.1.1:8002 (or resp. 8001).

I'm checked by /etc/host on the router. It seems correct:

 # cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 piratebox.lan localhost
192.168.1.1 piratebox.lan

I'm pretty sure it's a simple thing that I'm missing. Anybody can help me?
thx!!

Please check /etc/config/network - there should be any "dns list" and no "gateway" entries.

Did you do a clean reboot after install?

do you mean I should remove the "dns list" entries and "gateway", so it should look like this?

config interface 'loopback'
        option ifname 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config interface 'lan'
        option ifname 'eth0'
        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'static'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'

yes... it is a current issue :/
If you remove it, it'll work - think so

I used to have 2 dns list entries, but I removed them and rebooted. The problem is still here. Must be something else ;-)

Here's some additional stuff:

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 piratebox.lan localhost.
192.168.1.1 piratebox.lan

There's a "." at the endof the first line. No idea why. I removed it: it changed nothing.

Can you check If you have defined a static DNS on your client computer?

I am behind a DSL box and my external IP has a dns name, but it should not change anything: I'm connecting to the PB and it is not connected at all to the DSL box.

and:

my_computer:~ > ps -eaf | grep dns
csoler    2102  2065  0 21:46 pts/4    00:00:00 grep dns

there's no dns masq or anything on the client computer. Should I try with another client computer?

I found it ;-)

I previously installed piratebox on my laptop, and I added a few entries in /etc/hosts to make it work, but I forgot to remove them. That when I realised that the current PB works perfectly with my ipod that I remembered it ;-)

Thank you very much for your help.
This project is a bomb.

dnsmasq is providing dhcp & dns service for connected clients.

It does work correctly if your client-computer is connected via ethernet and piratebox-wifi only. Redirection is based on DNS resolution from dnsmasq running on the PirateBox

lol
Ok, Have fun with it

---

This is only my signature.

I'm having this same problem. I removed the dns list entries from my /etc/config/network file.

Additionally the box does not assign me an IP address. If it is plugged into my router then it gives me an IP address and shows my actual router as the router. If I enter the IP address directly in the browser then it gives me part of the PirateBox page, but the rest fails because it is trying to go to piratebox.lan which fails the DNS lookup.

If I disconnect it from the router, and then power cycle it, connecting to the PirateBox wifi then it does not give me an IP address via DHCP. If I hardcode an IP address on the same subnet then I cannot see it via ping, SSH, Telnet, HTTP, etc.

I've rebuilt the box a few times, but keep failing at this point.

I am using the MR3020 and running the firmware from [forum.daviddarts.com]

I from the base configuration I just changed the IP address to 192.168.0.111

Connecting via WiFi or Ethernet produces the same results.

Thanks!

Hi,
yes changing the IP the problem.
You have to modify the following configs to allow it:

/opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf
-> IP & IPSTART & IPEND
/opt/piratebox/conf/hosts

I've already some plans in my pocket to get the problem solved automatically too

Matthias

That did it. Thanks!

Hello everybody, i have the same problems and then check my configuration and don't find what is wrong ....

No static IP on my laptotp (test with two different).

Thank's in advance for your help.

cat /opt/piratebox/conf/hosts
ifconfig

and from your connected laptop

nslookup piratebox.lan

I search solution yesterday night and i think i was in the bad topic.

I think there's a problem of direction because link on piratebox don't work (for READ.ME and BACK.TO.MENU).

I shearch solution on the forum and found tahat topic topic for READ.ME

then i check my usb key to verify if i'm not in ro by this command

root@piratebox:~# mount | grep /mnt/usb
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
root@piratebox:~#

I think it's OK.

then i check my shared folder and i see the hide link for READ.ME and BACK.TO.MENU link.
0 Ko for the twoo link

If i copy the original link (when i recover the original direction) to the shared folder, do you think it's OK ?

Or i should reinstall the piratebox ?

thank's for your help, i prefer waiting for your response before modify something because i don't know if it's the real problem.

if something went wrong on copying the files to your shared directory, you can copy them by hand:

cp /opt/piratebox/src/.READ.ME.htm /opt/piratebox/share
cp /opt/piratebox/src/.BACK.TO.MENU.htm /opt/piratebox/share

but what exactly is your problem?



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/19/2012 08:31AM by Matthias.

My problem is

When i click on link connect to piratebox, there'is blank screen with READ.ME and BACK.TO.MENU.

Then i search for a solution myself and reading a LOOOOT OF topic to understand myself before annoyed you with my problem.

at first, i think it was a problem of "redirect piratebox.lan with 192.168.1.1" (wrong direction for the link on piratebox).

Then i wrote the first message above because i don't understand what happen.

Since yesterday i tried to understand again, and give you the information you need.

With recheck of installation:

then i check my shared folder and i see the hide link for READ.ME and BACK.TO.MENU link.
0 Ko for the twoo link

In second time, i suppose it was a bad copy of the link in share folder.

Then i made a new copy of the original and the link work (with the last command which you wrote above).

Thank's for your help, it's solved for me without re-instalation of the piratebox.

I managed to get the box to work with Matt's repository, but now I am running into redirection issues. If I type in the IP directly, I can access the piratebox page. If I type something else in, it fails.

Nslookup piratebox.lan while ssh'd over wireless replies...

Server: 0.0.0.0
Address 1: 0.0.0.0

Name: piratebox.lan
Address 1: 127.0.0.1 piratebox.lan

I would be glad to post the results of the mount command as well, if necessary.

is this the output of your "nslookup" on your client-computer?

Yes. I connected my laptop (client) to the 'box and ssh'd in, testing the nslookup command at that point. I am currently in class, but can perform more troubleshooting operations later today.

Oddly enough, I decided to run a test on battery power... Suddenly things are working fine. I guess that will remain an unsolved mystery. Thank you for the wonderful support and guides.

I can not connect to the mr3020 via telnet or ssh. the box worked perfect now it wont redirect to pirate box and ip address isnt issued as normal? anyway to save this cool thing or is it borked?

Hi,
which kind of box do you have?
if OpenWRT Router based, is it connected via Wire to your homenetwork?
Did you try to get access with setting up a static IP address?
