Hello Ken and Fernando, I really had totally overlooked that fact. I was hoping for a quick solution so to speak. I have a 64bit of debian burnt onto dvd that would not install on my laptop as I had not realized that it was not actually 64 bit. It still comes down to the fact that either I try and convince my landlord to spend money on getting another seconhand computer so that I can install it on that. Or that I try and convince him to have no internet for anyone for a couple days so that I can install it on the existing hardware. The problem with the second server approach is that It really can not be truly tested as I am using ethernet over power in my room as I am outside of wireless range. I need to test the setup with the wireless router and adsl modem that he has. Even though I still have to log in to gain internet access, I still need to test that wireless will also work with the new setup. I know that apache will work on any server I set up as I have done it on dozens of production servers. The more I think about it I come to realize that I will have to wait until after things die down in April/May next year. I wanted to have it up and running and be able to test it as I must say at the moment I am a little bored. I like the challenge that IT related issues bring. I also want an end to having to re-install the crap software that a brain dead idiot told my Landlord to use. That person did not even have any regard for the legal trouble he could have gotten my landlord into. My landlord is running a business, namely a backpackers hostel, and this idiot installed a pirated copy of the software. When said idiot left and things started to fall apart, my landlord had to pay to get the mess sorted out, and of course the IT professional repair shop told him he needed a legal copy of windows server along with a legal copy of the hotspot software. I would love to know that idiots name address and country so that I could find a way of making sure that he is blacklisted as someone to never trust. You never ever suggest to a business owner to use illegal software, as they come down super hard on businesses that are using it for profit. Even if it is only to cover the cost of the internet connection per month and perhaps a bit more.
