[MLB-WIRELESS] Those connected to the WAN.....

[Richard Van Orsouw]

Sneeze, how do I apply for a 172.16.x.x ?, I have only ever been able to
manage to get 10.10.x.x?.
On a side note, the reason I will need networks with only 2 hosts, is the
fact that I am running a ad-hoc mode network. In an ad-hoc mode network,
nodes that don;t have LOS to each other will not be able to route packets to
each other unless each link exists on a separate network. At present
nodefpy.wireless.org.au has 3 nodes running off it, (GUR,GDW,FSS) these
nodes will not be able to communicate directly unless the network is broken
up into separate segments. At the moment, I have set up all nodes to exist
on 192.168.10.x. FPL will not route packets b/w nodes cause it thinks they
all exist in the same RF space. The only way around this, is to have FPY
have multiple IP address's existing on the same interface. If some-one knows
a better way, please let me know.

BTW, if you check out locfinder you will notice a triangle, from west ->
east -> south, that's right GDW -> GUR is a 36km link. With Melb_AP's help,
I was able to do 180Km round trip ping from GDW to FOA!
