[isf-wifidog] Authentication problem (Ubuntu 10.04)

[Genevieve Bastien]

You most probably didn't add this node to the auth server.  The 
exception let's you know that the node could not be found and if you 
enter the administrive username / password (those you entered when 
installing the auth server), you will be invited to create the node.  
Once that is done, people can login, but if the node is not on the 
network, there is no login possible.

The gw_id of the new node should be 00E023200B4D which is the id the 
node uses to identify himself to the auth server.  You may change this 
id in the wifidog.conf file, by uncommenting the line
# GatewayID youGWid

By default, the gw_id is the mac of the node.

When a client tries to access an external webpage the requested pages is redirected to the auth server as expected, but there are some error messages (in orange and red color) on the login/signup page:

Activating the account works (from outside the client LAN), but the client can never successfully log in or even gets temporary internet access. Although there is some contact with the auth server the client's MAC address does not get stored in the db.

The Ubuntu box acts as a NAT router as does the DSL router (so two local LANs are involved before packets make it to the outside world). To check the setup I am currently using a cable connection on the client LAN. If wifidog is not running, all connections from the client side are fine.
