Of Wireless Access points and Bridging and speeds

by Abhishek Daga

I am planning to use 2 WAP11 boxes (linksys wireless access points) that have bridging capabilities, allowing it to bounce signals and act as a repeater. Has anyone tried this successfully and what were the limitations in terms of range? There are 2 applications: 1) Internet, so even 11 MBPS speed will be fine. 2) Using an application such as Client-Server Tally. Clearly 11 MBPS can be the bottle neck here. But the g versions at 54 will have lesser range. Is that true? 3) Now as we move from Router-AP-Switch devices towards the Access Points with bridging capabilities, how is it going to compromise the security when not having a firewall in place as the wireless routers provided this? 4) Which of these setups are possible? Internet____WAP1--->WAP2_____Router----->USB-Adapter____PC. ____ denotes wired link. ---- denotes wireless. Router in question is entry level netgear or linksys without bridging. 5) Has anyone tried signal boosters and how good are they? While the signal booster costs a LOT (if available) it saves the hassles of WAP1-Wap2-Router setup or even WAP1-WAP2-USB Adapter. 6) Can anyone point to a good signal booster that will go over 2 concrete walls and total distance 50 feet and work with netgear/linksys entry level router+Access points? Costs? Thanks! Ignorance is Strength. What you don't know cannot hurt you. __________________________________ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com

Cluster project!! help needed

by Apoorva Kulkarni

i am doin a project on linux clusters at TIFR. the project requires us to simulate 8 nodes on a single node and do this for 9 different nodes and thus having a cluster of 72 nodes. these simulated nodes should behave as if they are connected via network(ie-having ip address and all). our guide told us something about either using user mode linux or use kernel threads.. tried googling it but failed to find anything useful enough... can anyone explain user mode linux and how it can be used for the above mentioned purpose? also any sources for reading abt it are most welcome..thx -- Apoorva Kulkarni ozzman[AT]bsd.miki.eu.org The network is the computer... http://www.linux-ha.org http://www.linuxhpc.org http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers

Printing and Linux

by Komal

Hello, Printing subsystem always baffles me. Printing in windows is very intuitive and easy. If I fire print job and if print cord is not connected to printer or printer is offline print spooler flashes warning within few seconds. But in Linux once print job is fired it is lost in black hole. Even if printer is offline or printer is not connected print spooler doesn't inform about it. I have tired lpd, lprng and CUPS all are more or less same. I wonder printing is so flaky in Linux? Thanks Regards, Komal

A complain Letter

by Derwyn Dpenha

Hi, Included below is a letter one of my clients wrote to orange.. I thought it would be worth a read so I've included the excerpts of the leter... ************************************************************* Subject: ATTN: KAMAL BAJWA, VICE PRESIDENT, CUSTOMER CARE Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 10:34:11 +0530 Dear Kamal ji, Compliments of the season to you and wish you are fine and in high spirits as usual. I have one serious issue - Your new "my orange" pages do not work on all All browsers as earlier.. WHY ONLY ON EXPLORER !!! Kamal jee, In our office we all have been working on a linux platform since 2 years and believe me , we have forgotton what is the dreaded blue screen, what a crash and believe that a virus is only meant for living creatures - Thats a beauty of a linux user and the os is just right. If you could check - all major banks and a majority of servers all over the world use linux to run them ! But sadly, With your new up gradations, by not allowing a "log in" for linux users you have grossly hurt all our worldwide group ( LUG - Linux users group ) and also eventually where every one upgrades the site sot hat it opens in multiple browsers, you have have downgraded the same.. IT DOES NOT WORK ON MOZILLA FIREFOX AND EVEN DOES NOT OPEN IN KONQUEROR!! WHY????? IT USED TO WORK EARLIER BEFORE YOUR SO CALLED NEW LAUNCH. Why have you not got it checked to even work for Linux user ?? Revert - Request for no automated cut paste replies - but with a solid, concrete plan that you are serious to do so. Will be grateful and obliged if your could please contact your web site engineers and get this issue resolved on a war footing. *************************************************************** Derwyn
