I have a Debian machine, which I want to turn into a router.
It will connect via wireless to a access-point, where it will get an IP.
To its ethernet port, other machines will be connected. It will run udhcpd to give machines connected to the ethernet port, their IP´s.
This all works so far, including the routing tables I have setup.
The problem is, that connected to the access-point is another machine. It broadcasts udp packets and these packets are not routed to the machines that are connected to the ethernet port on my router. How do I resolve this?
Bridging the wlan0 and eth0 ports?

If its acting as a router, broadcast packets typically don't cross routers. You would have to manually configure iptables to forward those packets. – heavyd – 2015-01-23T17:28:01.837
Ok, how do I do that? – Dánjal Salberg Adlersson – 2015-01-23T19:05:31.950
