Hi Don --
Your problem isn't related to wifidog, so this isn't really the right place
to ask.
I've never tried a setup where the auth server is on the local LAN. I don't
know if this would cause problems, but I just always assumed that the auth
server would be installed elsewhere on the Internet.
It sounds like this might be a very simple problem to solve -- like it's a
DNS problem or a simple routing problem or something like that. Perhaps
start from scratch (with no wifidog!) and re-read the docs on openwrt.org?
Good luck!
