Love it. Any idea whether it was .b or .g? If it's .b then I should be able to do the same with an Orinoco card? That is, as long as I install a proxy server?
Nice to be able to do it on a Mac by just uncommenting a few lines in a conf file :) -----Original Message----- Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 16:18:11 -0500 From: Anthony Townsend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [nycwireless] Routing around the problem To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed http://www.benhammersley.com/dparchives/007920.html#comments Restored As I mentioned yesterday, the wireless access at XML 2003 costs $40, which is somewhat annoying. Happily, here in the News Standards Summit, we're cheating. In answer to the long held question, can a TiBook with one Wifi card act as a repeater and relay access to everyone else in the room without them having to pay, the answer it turns out is yes. How do we do this? Well, first turn off the built-in Apache installation on the OSX machine that is online. Edit httpd.conf to load mod_proxy (there are about 20 or so lines to uncomment). Turn Apache back on. Go to network prefs, and find out your assigned IP address. Write it on a piece of paper, and pass it around the room, telling them to set it as their web proxy. The naughty RSS-people-at-the-back of the room are all online. Hurrah! (Bill Kearney worked this out. Blame him) ------------------------------ -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
