It's not a bug .. ESP8266 can not be a router ..

station A <- wifi -> ESP8266 softAP <- wifi -> station B,

station A/B can ping ESP8266,

station A/B can not ping each other..

that is not my test scenario, I have:

PC <--LAN-->AP<--WiFi-->ESP8266 STA

arping works, ping doesn't

PC <--LAN-->AP<--WiFi-->wireless WEBCAM

arping works, ping works

Smartphone <--WiFi-->AP<--WiFi-->ESP8266 STA

arping works, ping works

ESP8266 doesn't need to route anything

Regards,
grooves

ESP8266 <---wifi---> AP <---wifi---> PC
with a webservice (nodered) on PC, ESP can't connect. After pinging ESP from PC, it works. Same AP (ISP box, Orange) as my previous problem.

- Fri Mar 20, 2015 5:08 am #12312 Same kind of issue here with a LiveBox and ESP8266. Strangely here what happens :
- I can join my router (AT+CWJAP) and get a proper IP (192.168.1.56)
- I can connect to any server on the internet (AT+CIPSTART,"TCP","Google.com",80 --> Linked)
- I can connect to the LiveBox router itself (AT+CIPSTART,"TCP","192.168.1.1",80 --> Linked)
- I cannot connect to any address on my LAN (AT+CIPSTART,"TCP","192.168.1.x,y --> Unlink)
(whatever x,y - whereas I can actually from any other device via Telnet)

I cannot ping either my ESP8266 from any device on my LAN although it has got an IP (unfortunately I do not know how to ping it from the LiveBox itself)
