9/18    I have seen several people (mostly grads but some undergrads)
        walking around soda with 802.11(b) cards on laptops. I have
        a card of my own... does anyone know if there is some way I
        can gain access to the wireless LAN? Thanks.    - rory
        \_ AirSnort
           \_ You know, you're not half as funny or clever as you think
              you are.
              \_ neither are you.
              \_ uh... AirSnort is a real thing.
                 \_ Yes. I see that now. I'm an idiot then. My apologies sir!
                 \_ Oh.  I'm an idiot then.  My apologies sir!
        \_ officially? no.  you need the special IDSG cards with
           mac addrs on their access list.  The best/easiest way to get
           wireless is to work with a prof and have them get it for you thru
           IDSG and their grant funds. - paolo
           \_ (granted, you can just change your mac address....
               figure out the key... hypothetically)
              \_ Provided you know what mac addresses are allowed ...
                 What, you thought everything is free here? --Jon
                 \_ ping scan the network, then look at
                    arp -n | grep -v incomplete
           IDSG and their grant funds. - paolo (granted, you can just

4/25    I have an Airport Express.  is there some way to let computer
        1 ping computer 2?  both computers are connected to wireless network
        successfully.  I can get to internet on both of them.  I just can't
        ping each other.  weird.  maybe they think that's a feature?
        \_ Sounds like your router is enforcing client isolation. If you can't
           change the setting on the router you're probably SOL.

12/15   ausman, maybe this can help form your views on net neutrality:

11/11   Dumb question. My apartment has a bunch of inter-computer file
        exchange going on. Should I get a switch instead of a router to
        minimize traffic? Does it really make a difference? Let's say
        two computers exchanging info with each other are on the switch
        and the switch is connected to the router. The router will never
        know about the transfer between the two computers right?

6/6     Now that 3g wireless speeds are getting useable and phones are
        coming out that have built in wifi are there any phones that
        can be used as wireless wifi access point?  -aspo
        \_ Yes. My coworker does this with his Blackberry.

5/31    I have a slow wireless router and slow fileserver on my network.
        Is there a video or media player (windows or unix) that is smart
        about caching content while playing it?  I would like to be able
        to hit play on a file from a file share, wait for it to catch
        up for a while because my connection is so slow, walk away for
        a while and come back and view my movie with no annoying skips. thanks.
