Personally, I'd add the option to connect laptops through openvpn or something similar. WPA2 with a decent size key is uncracked. Thats almost exactly how we have our home network constructed. IpCop does all the firewalling and routing, and keeps our (Blue) wireless subnet securely separate from everythings else in (Green) home lan. Wireless SB can connect to SC thru a pinhole, or via OpenVPN to SC at distant location. Its just a tad more complicated than using ethernet SB directly in Green subnet. -- bluegroper bluegroper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4554 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54473 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Regards, Peter You can do some cool things with linux and the madwifi driver. Multiple vlans tied to multiple virtual APs. Then you can go nuts with traffic control queues and iptables. If you're still bored with that you can add monitoring with a netflow logger and some of the crazy IDS tools. Netflows are one of my favorite tools.

Re: [slim] Can I combine a Duet with SB3 ?
You're right. The Bridged SBR is running [WEP][IBSS] WAP with WPA is a better solution. -- bluegroper bluegroper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4554 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54473 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Can I combine a Duet with SB3 ?
Hi forum I have a Duet (SB Receiver and SB Controller). Mostly works great. SBR is connected using ethernet wire, so is bridged to SBC. Can I add an SB3 to this add-hoc wireless setup ? (How does it find the bridge ?) Or do I have to also connect the SB3 with ethernet wire ? Single SBC must be able to control both SBR and SB3. TIA's for any clues. (The SB documentation is very vague about such configuration/s.) -- bluegroper bluegroper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4554 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54473 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can I combine a Duet with SB3 ?
You may be able to detect the SBR's wifi bridge on the SB3. I have never tested this myself since I don't have the duet style receiver. I use a normal wifi AP. You could always add a wifi AP to your network if it doesn't work. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54473 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
