My WiFi

I havent spend much time finishing my PVR. But I did replace an old 10Mb hub and 11Mb accesspoint with a new b/g linksys accesspoint. No problems there, couple of minutes. The Windows install disk sucked camels ass though. The problem was that I use 10.0.1.0/24 inside where the default IP of the AP box was 192.168.1.1. As I said, couple of minutes.

I wanted to change the old AP (Asus 802.11b) to a client so it's ethernet can wire my PVR box. That want as trivial and didnt work out, will take a look at it later. However, I have now a full 100Mb switched network at home (wheee1) instead of an old 10Mb half duplex. And the new AccessPoint has both G and B and I was surpissed to find that my new laptop did G as well. So my internal network is once again up to speed with my internet connection. I have 4 Mb down so my fixed and wireless ethernet were becomming the slowerparts of my internetwork connection.

LinkSys

My trala also get's its amazing availability through the LinkSys WRT54G, good router/AP. Now a 'connected by linksys' on the front page ?

no

I use the linksys /behind/ my linux firewall, so my website and the users of it excluding me, are not connected by linksys.

btw: did you check out previous posts on willy regarding openwrt?

FW's

I didn't want to give it the full DMZ treatment, but technically, there's another packet filter between trala and the internet. (It's a linux host after all, so the standard packet filter's there)

damm

after talking to mikew, it seems that the asus wl300 has a client option, just not "the" client option. hence, it can only act as an client for asus accesspoints. this means the thing is redundant now :-(

and i need to get my hands on an usb wifi dongle that is supported under linux... just another downer in my pvr project...
