Hi Jason,<br><br><b>1st thing</b>: You'll need to make sure you hit "Reply to All" or change the "To:" field to the MW mailing address.<b> :)<br><br>2nd thing</b>: My internet is graciously (and temporarily) donated by a kindly gentleman running a few nodes down in the Geelong Region, he has his own seperate access portal that you can pay for internet time to access the net, however I think it's only for connections to that point.<br>
<br>But for the greater part of it all, everyone usually runs their own internet account. I will be getting my net connected soon but I've just moved in and concentrating on the more critical aspect of things IE: Fixing fence up and the general internals of the house etc. I think the long run aim is to provide a massively connected community network anyone can use for free if there are limited internet services available on it that is another matter entirely though.<br>
<br>Although I wouldn't mind trying to build an internal agregation type system to download from the free resources accessible from the various home-users dsl services. IE: Node Servers / EFtel Servers / Bigpond Servers etc. Means someone who got suckered into the 250MB plans from an ISP with limited downloads hooks into the MW Network and wants that large 2GB Distro of Linux or some Game Patch files, just put in what they want and it's downloaded on a remote service where they can then transfer it to themselves locally afterwards... Don't know how FEASIBLE it is, but it'd be nice. :)<br>
I plan to setup a bit of a mirror of node files (<i>or let people download from node fileserver</i>) and plan to setup at least a 2TB server here at home. I'm getting a free server a mate no longer runs and just need to drop some larger HDDs into it (has 120GB atm).<br>
<br>On the MW website some people have listed as running Game Servers, don't know how "active" they are though, but I am hoping to get some internal gaming happening with other MW members.<br><br>I believe they just recently held a meeting, unless I have my dates mixed up and it's still to come.<br>
<br>Have a quick look at this: <a href="http://www.crc.id.au/why-i-founded-melbourne-wireless/">Why I Founded Melbourne Wireless</a> from the founder of MW.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 22, 2009 at 1:29 PM, JAson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jfbraddy@bigpond.com">jfbraddy@bigpond.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Just wondering how and if the internet is
provided on this network. Does it go through just one node or does everybody
just use their own personal account. The reason I ask comes down I’m sure
to the age old question of why, apart from because we can. It seems that net
access and a whole heap of other services are just the beginning of what could
and possibly is being offered on MW. I am interested in joining as I have a strong
passion for community networking. Also just wondering when the next meeting is,
would love to come and chat.</span></font></p>
