  Actually, the IP ranges wont matter hugely for me.

  10.69.11.x  - Wired LAN
  192.168.4.100-255 - Wireless LAN Range

  The wireless LAN range would be pretty easy to change (including firewalls etc).

  The only problem I can foresee is when MW gets large and my internal range ends up being used somewhere in MW where I can connect to, but that is a way down the track.

    All

     

    Yeah I can understand that having a convention as such would interrupt interneal network naming, but mw ip address' would be doing the same for your internal network addressing.

     

    Anyhow just a thought to get it more streamlined. No one has to participate, just for identifying issues that was all.

    I know this sounds petty, but having that naming convention would break from my internal network naming (Poohbear names :-)

     

    Most people are already using foo.wireless.org.au that I've noticed. With an anything goes for foo policy.. I believe this is a defacto standard already.

    Melbourne Wireless.

     

    I have had a thought and might be a decent one. 

     

    In regards to locfinder and ap's ssids, I believe it might be a good idea to have some sort of naming conventions in regards to them. Makes it a bit easier when stumbling for MW nodes, and would look a bit neater.

     

    Something like  : nodeXXX.wireless.org.au or nodeXXX.melbwireless.org.au where XXX is your short node name, i.e mine is FSO J

     

    Like to here some thoughts regarding it. 

     

    Cheers
