On the router, which firmware are you running with Batman?


When you type batmand -c -d 1 on the router /server what do you see?

What does batmand -v show on the router / server?

For newer batman and experimental you'll want to open up ports 4305-4307:

iptables -t filter -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 4305 --sport 4305 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 4306 --sport 4306 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 4307 --sport 4307 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT 2 -p udp --dport 4305 --sport 4305 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT 2 -p udp --dport 4306 --sport 4306 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT 2 -p udp --dport 4307 --sport 4307 -j ACCEPT
