<div>thx peter, tim</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ok i think i get it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>so in my circumstances given that im going to use an old linux pc as a router, i should plug the canopy into the linux box assign myself an ip (say <a href="http://10.10.1.84">10.10.1.84</a>) with a netmask (is this the same thing as a subnet?) of
<a href="http://255.255.255.240">255.255.255.240</a> and i should get a connection?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>what happens when i connect? i imagine i'll be able to ping <a href="http://10.10.1.81">10.10.1.81</a> (tims canopy router) to see if its working. will i be able to access other nodes just by typing the ips on the melbwireless site in smb ? is there some kind of script for when you connect that will direct me to an internal version of the melbwireless site?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>how do i configure ospf? how would i get that on a linux box? is there some router software that comes with it i could use?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>rssi needs to be above 700 and the jitter below 15, is this correct? (i was getting rssi easily above 800 and jitter at 1-2).</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> thx</div></div>

melbwireless@wireless.org.au</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [MLB-WIRELESS] finally a triumph on the northern front !<br></font><br> </div><span class="q">
<div></div>
<div>hello there,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>last sunday the 29th we finally accomplished what we've been trying to do for the last few months, we got a connection to HVC from JSG in North Carlton. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>we'd been trying with all sorts of things prior to; improperly terminated lengthy rg213 + cantennas, omnis and parabolics neither of which amounted to anything. finally we got our hands on a canopy from tim hogard - which i must admit didn't immedietly work presumably because of noise- + a satellite dish from Dave Ashburner and there a working solution was born.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>instantly the difference was observed even though we hadn't calculated the correct angle to place the canopy on the sattelite dish (we rather just adhoced it). practically immedietly the thing registered.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>anyways now the next step is to confirm the configuration of the thing and get a permanent setup hhappening. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>from memory i recall tim telling me: rssi needs to be above 700 and the jitter below 15, is this correct? (i was getting rssi easily above 800 and jitter at 1-2).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>and then next up i have to allocate myself an IP between <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://10.10.1.130/" target="_blank">10.10.1.130</a> and <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://10.10.1.140/" target="_blank">
10.10.1.140</a>.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thats what i;ve sussed out so far. if it is properly configured what should i expect to happen? can i google? which addresses should i ping to confirm servers and vital services and all that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i imagine the melbwireless site should come up or something or maybe tims abnormal site i dont know but i'm keen to find out!!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ps. i just now applied to get my own ip allocation (however that fits into the scheme of things)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thx</div>
<div> </div><br></span>
