Please edit the title, can't make it sound better. -- OP.
Hi all, I have a Wifi USB dongle in a PC, that serves as an AP for laptop.
wlan1: 192.168.2.1, netmask 255.255.255.0, routed:
route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.1
ping 192.168.2.2 (laptop): ping was ok for lot of packets.
Now, I try to access 192.168.2.1:80/myindex.html (apache) from laptop, and can see that own 1kb test page. But, trying to access 192.168.2.1:80/my.jpg, I see the following:
GET /my.jpg
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
<jpg header, about a kilobyte>
<TCP packet retransmisson>
<TCP packet retransmisson>
<end of stream>
It seems to be a hostapd's problem (networked stuff worked fine with Ad-Hoc), but it may be also forwarding/routing problem too. What to google for?
Even more strange, SSH to that host works fine.
