RE: [MLB-WIRELESS] milestoneI concur, if technical/resource issues are holding anyone back, that's what this list is for, ask away, someone will probably know.

  Not knowing where to get the parts and the time to put it all together is my main obstacle. I've spat the dummy at Linux one too many times to want to go back there in a hurry, so that's another obstacle. Trying to connect my network to bigpuddle and use the redhat box as a router is bad enough. I've gone back to the netgear router I was using beforehand. Much simpler. 

  One only needs to ask around. :).  I can help with general networking issues (haven't played around with big puddle tho - I have sloptus :) ).  However, I have a router/firewall running quite well, with multiple VPNs, support for voice/video chat from the Windows clients, full IRC and ICQ support, and etc, etc.  I will be documenting the box, once I get my email and web proxies up (these are going in for security reasons, to minimise the risk of infection from things like Nimda and anything similar in the future).  The firewall is under constant development (like all good security systems :) ), and will be documented for the benefit of people like yourself trying to set something up.

  Adding wireless shouldn't be too much of a drama, except for the potential for IP conflicts, adding more wierd and wonderful ipchains rules (as if it's not tricky enough already!), and supporting a wider range of protocols. :-)

  I'me also about to move my web site (all 120 meg of it!) to another place, as I've been offered space with 100 Mbps to the Net. :)
