I am trying to apply some iptables forwarding rules in openwrt.
Here is my scenario -
My server has two cards ath0 and br-lan. br-lan is connected to internet and ath0 to private network.
The other m/c in n/w also has ath0 that connects with this server's ath0 and they are able to ping each other.
Now, I want other m/c in network to use internet using br-lan of server so I thought of using iptables forwarding rule-
Here is what I tried -
Server :
$ ping 1.1.1.6 // <ath0-ip of client> works fine
$ iptables -A FORWARD -i ath0 -o br-lan -j ACCEPT
$ /etc/init.d/firewall restart
Client :
$ ping 1.1.1.5 // <ath0-ip of server> works fine
$ ping 132.245.244.60 // <br-lan ip of server> (not working)
I am new to iptables stuff and openwrt. What I am doing wrong here ??
Any other help if anyone could suggest for my scenario
Edit- m/c - machine n/w - network
