[MLB-WIRELESS] IP allocations within a node???

[John McClumpha]

Hi Mark,

I'd suggest not using DHCP for this as if a connection is lost & then 
regained a new (different) ip address may be allocated - thus causing 
problems where servers change addresses (and if DNS is in place, more 
problems there too) - I'd suggest sticking with static IPs, which is 
what Cam and I are planning to do.

As you probably guessed, we didn't have any luck seeing HRW on friday 
night - although we were able to pick up other APs (non MW) *behind* it!

When I return from interstate we'll do some more experimenting and see 
what we can come up with - INR should have a fully functional waveguide 
omni by then so hopefully INQ will be able to see that :)
