Hi,

I cant find a way to run the script without killing my own link to the system.

On the 'router': eth0 is on 192.168.166.100 (Im connecting to it from 192.168.166.110 via ssh) wlan0 is the link to the internet (no firewalls, no VPNs etc.. simple wifi).

I tried both: sudo lnxrouter -i eth0 -o wlan0 and: sudo lnxrouter -i eth0 -o wlan0 -g 192.168.166.100

Both killed my link to the 'router' from eth0. Am I missing something? Thanks

I guess this is the network you're trying to make:

Internet ---[ wlan0 - router - eth0 ]----- computers

Am I getting it right?

The current script -i eth0 will reset eth0. To solve this, we need to implement an option to not reset in future version.

BTW, currently can you reconnect to router via ssh after running the command and it resetting?

Before the fix is implemented, there's workaround. Try comment out these: https://github.com/garywill/linux-router/blob/f6995bc30c5b85ac07aefe37b35004a307e3f62b/lnxrouter#L2008-L2032 https://github.com/garywill/linux-router/blob/f6995bc30c5b85ac07aefe37b35004a307e3f62b/lnxrouter#L1162 https://github.com/garywill/linux-router/blob/f6995bc30c5b85ac07aefe37b35004a307e3f62b/lnxrouter#L1158 https://github.com/garywill/linux-router/blob/f6995bc30c5b85ac07aefe37b35004a307e3f62b/lnxrouter#L1169

Then run

sudo lnxrouter -i eth0  -g 192.168.166.100

(Notice this is a dirty workaround for your current use case only, not a true fix) I haven't tested.

hi and thanks for the quick response!

This is my actual setup. Internet ---[ wlan0 - router (PiZero2) - usb0 ]----- just one computer - ethernet over USB I have the feeling that the reset if killing the usb0 (gadget mode) and is not coming back at all...

Ill check you temp fix. Best Tasos
