NO WIRES CAN BE RUN, preservation district... I would like to RFC as I have looked at Dlink AP900 I believe with w/ 2 of these is "supposed to" work as a LAN bridge. I have heard SMC now makes some very directional antennas Also heard O'reilly books has a new wireless LANs book out that has a way to shoot 802.11b w/ PRINGLES CANS???? and some hardware, over quite a distance ....??? seems funny ... Can I get a few ideas ?? Also how can I segment so all BLDGS have their own LAN segments and people from 1 LAN segment don't "snoop" on people in other segment. ie: Bldg 1 now has the internet feed and is its own LAN on 192.168.10.0 Bldg 2 can be 192.168.11.0 if I can bridge as above Bldg 3 can be 192.168.12.0 etc .... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
