<div><br></div><div>basically now we configure nodes based on mac, all in the 172 network so the mesh is in the 172 space, but we give 10. addresses to clients and nat them</div><div><br></div><div>or i guess i could use ahcpd on endpoints, but how does say windows client get the ip if their 2-3 hops out, is the dhcp broadcast through the network<br>

</div>This one too. Except for laptop clients, this how-to is useless (unless<br>
your laptop runs OpenWrt, which would be quite surprising ;-): you have<br>
to install ahcpd separately (for instance using a Debian package) and<br>
launch it on your machine to get an address.<br>
