Hello,
I am trying to have chillispot allow a couple of mac address on the internet but, it is not working correctly. I tried to add my mac address to chilli.conf, the mac allowed line. Then I restart chilli, and chilli doesn't start back up, is there something I am missing here. I made the change to freeradius, mysql database also. I want chilli to work as it is I just need a couple of mac addresses allowed through. As I was reading through the faq of chillispot I see that when you specify your mac address it must be in raw form 00dd0000dd00, is this correct? Could this be why chilli is not starting back up? When you specify your mac address in mysql database you must use xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, is this correct?
any help is good

Hey,
Anyone there who has changed there outside interface mtu =1400, after googling this for a while I see there is a mtu bug. Am I suppose to change the tun0 interface mtu also? Can anyone here give any assistance in this?

Hi,
I am running a server running slackware with chillispot, I changed the mtu size from 1500 to 1400. I did this because webpages like yahoo would not load when the mtu was set to 1500. The web pages load now, except for pages using https. after looking around I found something about mtu bug. Can anyone help me with how to fix this or point me somewhere. I am using the firewall that is supplied with chillispot, would this be where I would add something to let chilli know the mtu size has changed?
thanks,

Hi,
I have chillispot running on slackware. Everything is working fine, but I wanted to change the dns server ip to another server. I tried this and get the error messege chilli.c could not resolve IP address of uamserver. Am I missing something, I don't get why changing dns server, this server is actually working. Any Help?

hey dmkhn,
thanks for the reply that makes more sense to me now, why they are commented out.

Hi,
I was looking through chilli.conf file and noticed that the ports that connect to the freeradius server are commented out. How does chillispot know what ports to connect to freeradius on then?
thanks,

Heloo,
I am going to be setting up a wireless printer. I was wondering how this would work. Do I have to make it so the wireless printer has the same ip given to it everytime. I was thinking that chillispot would give it an ip address, and when I install the wireless printer software on the laptop hopefully it could just use the mac address of the printer's wireless card, to communicate with it. Does this sound right, does anyone else have the same thing setup or are using a wireless printer?
thanks,

hi dmkhn,
Thanks for the reply. I am able to get a webpage from my webserver now! With adding that line. To make sure no one else can access the webserver, I also added the line: allow from ip address to the httpd.conf file. Still learning about iptables.
Thanks again,

Hello,
I am using the chillispot firewall script that comes with chillispot. I was wondering what line I could put in the script to allow a computer to access apache to be servered a webpage. I was trying something like this line at the bottom of the file:
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -s xxx.xxx.x.xxx -j Accept
xxx is where the ip address would be. Can I do this, looking through forums still haven't came across anything yet.
thanks

Hello again, hey this forum is alive again 
I got it to work with mac authentication. What do you mean by server got large configuration files? I will look into what you posted about. Since the mac address is handed out the same ip address, I can create filter groups with dansguardian. glad to see you responded back to me
Thanks,
slack
hi dmkhn,
Thanks for the reply. The reason I am trying to set static ip address is because I am running squid (transparent proxy) and Dansguardain. I want to have different filter groups, one with filter on and one with filter off. In order for Dansguardian to do this, one way is to assign filter groups to ip address. After playing around with chilli some more I did get chilli or rather freeradius to hand out a specific ip address to my clients mac address. So in order for someone to hand out a static ip address to a device, they would have to do this. Tell me if I am right or wrong. They have to edit the chilli.conf file and change the tag static ip, here one could put a ip address that they want to start with, and what subnet. (e.g. 192.168.182.200/24) this would allow you to assign .200 to .254 addresses as static, as long as they are put into the mysql database, also meaning the devices will always be handed out the same ip address based on there mac address. This is from adding the mac address with the attribute access accept to the msyql database in radcheck, and also adding the framed ip address to the radreply in the mysql database. So as of right now for testing purpose, I run chilli in debug mode, client is running dhcp and asks chilli for ip, sends client to freeradius server checks mysql sees the mac address allows on internet without authenticating, in the radreply assigns the ip address that I have specified. So now the that device I specified will always be handed out the same ip address. Hopefully this will help someone else out! Please let me know if this right.
Thanks,

Hi,
can someone please tell me if it is possible to set the nic card with a static ip address using chillispot. I know chilli uses dhcp to hand out ip addresses. This is what I have tried so far, I have added users mac address to the msql database that freeradius looks at. I also added the attribute access-accept for this mac address, so when I go to browse the web I don't have to log in anymore. But I want this client to keep same Ip address everytime. So I added (username,attribute,op,value) to radreply, so (macaddress,framed ip address, :=,ip address). Then I went to chilli.conf and added a static ip 192.168.182.225/24, to the tag static ip. But when I set the ip address statically, I am not allowed out on internet. I am running chilli in debug mode and says static out of range.
What am I doing wrong, can I even do this with chillispot set a static ip to a device? I thought I am doing this exactly as it should be done. Anyone? I will gladly post back on how I set this up, if this is even possible.
thanks for any reply at all
Hi,
I am running chillispot, wifi clients all get an ip address handed out from chilli. I want one of my computers to be authenticated by mac address, instead of username and password. Chilli is now set to do just username and password for autheticate against mysql database running on freeradius server. Can i just uncomment the mac authenticate line in chilli.conf file, and put the mac address of the computer I want to use. I want it so that the computer that I am using can bypass the login page and get directly on the internet.
Thanks for any reply!!!
Hello,
I want to set a computer with wireless card and set it to have a static ip. Is this possible to do with chillispot? I need computer to have same IP address handed out to it every time, but I still want chillispot to hand out dhcp to other clients. Is this actually possible to do, I know there is something about setting static ip in chilli.conf, but can I have it both ways?
thanks
When a wireless client connects to access poin then to chilli, then sends a packet to radius server. What is in that packet? Also could someone tell me what port chillispot connects to freeradius, I believe it is 1814 for authentication, am I right?
thanks for help

Hi,
I am running slackware 11.0 with dansguardain 2.9.8.2, squid 2.6 stable, and chillspot 1.1.0. I wanted to know what range of ip does chillispot hand out to a wireless client. I use dansguardian as a web content filter by using static ip address to filter. Does chillispot hand out the same ip address usually to the same client.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have linksys wirless G routers, that I am using for Access Points. These don't have chillispot firmware on them, my chillispot is on a seperate server. I was wondering if certain firmware won't work with chillispot. I was talking to someone about this and they said that finding the right firmware to work, took a while. I believe the firmware is actually that of linksys anyway. If I upgrade the firmware would this help, or would this make it not connect to chillispot?
thanks,

Hi dmkhn,s t
Thanks for the reply, I have made change to the mysql database on the free radius, so that wireless is available for a longer period of time. But when I log on as a wireless client, at the time when the original time was set in the mysql database. I get kicked off 15 minutes before that time, it seems like that I am missing somehwere else that it is set for the wireless times to be available from. I am trying to narrow down where this could be set at. That hotspotlogin.cgi script is saying go to the mysql database and look at the what day it is and check the time. If it is that day then allow the wireless client on to the internet. So after that is done and the client is allowed on the internet, then how does chillispot know when to kick the client off the internet. Since the client is never connected to the freeradius server. How does chillispot know that at a certain time to kick them off the internet? Is there something somehwere on chillispot that is so you can configure your wireless clients access times to the internet?
Thanks
hello,
I am new to chillispot and freeradius. I am trying to understand how these are working, I took over for someone who left for greener pastures, and did not document that well. I have a chillispot server set for dhcp and then an external freeradius server, with a mysql backend for authentication. When a wireless user connects chillispot automatically hands out and ip address to the user.(right) But since they are unathenticated user they are redirected to hotspoplogin.cgi webpage which asks the for the username and password. This is sent to the external freeradius server to be authenticated to the mysql database, if the user exists in the database, it then sends and access-accept messege to the chillispot server.(is this correct?) Then the user is then allowed onto the internet for allowed time set in the database. So the wireless user is never actually connected to the freeradius server ever then, right? So is chillispot the server that allows the user onto the internet then? Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance,
slack
