Hi Saul,

Hearing that was quite a relief thanks a lot for the response.

What i thought is


eth0
eth1
 Internet---Linux Gateway (With wifidog Auth and wifidog
Gateway)-------Node1- - - - - Node2- -

--- wired link   - - - -Wireless links running olsr

And client device will access Nodes running olsr for access to internet but
no need of authentication for local network.

When client tries to access the external network he is redirected to the
login page.

I hope WifiDog will work like this>acually i was trying out chillispot and
it gave me problems like it needed it own DHCP server and need for
chillispot deamon.

Please do tell me if this will work out.

I am sorry for asking basic questions.But its just the case that i am alone
working on this and have no one to refer to.


Thank you.

Regards,

Luffy
