Are you running DHCPD off of that unix box, or off of the AP? The nocatauth README says: "* You'll probably also want to run dhcpd on this machine, but DHCP can in some cases be served from your access point or elsewhere on your local network. "
How would I go about using the DHCP from my AP rather then using DHCP on the unix box? (Would all I need to do is config nocataut's initial firewall rules to allow for clients to hit the AP's DHCP but nothing else?). It would be nice to see a FAQ with all the info required for such a project. I would definitly be interested in seeing the whole setup, equipment used, placement, software, coverage, etc, etc. The "For more info" link off the main www.nycwireless.net page doesn't really have much info [http://www.bryantpark.org/html/wirelesspark.htm].
