Re: [MBZ] O/T Router
Here's the skinny from my buddy with the wireless dish stuff: Got some pictures below. First the dish is exactly the same as the Dish network dish except for the feed horn. I first took the feed horn apart and removed all the electronics and then drilled a good size hole down through the shaft and out the back of the horn to feed the cable from my new horn. Directions and details on how to make it are here http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/15/how-to-build-a-wifi-biquad-dish-antenna/ There are also lots of other directions on the net just search on Homebrew WiFi or Biquad dish WiFi The granddaddy of all instructions are here http://trevormarshall.com/biquad.htm If you need the parts in a kit go here http://cgi.ebay.com/Build-a-BiQuad-Booster-WiFi-Antenna-for-Linksys_W0QQitemZ120153511227QQihZ002QQcategoryZ44996QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem If you order one of these then you will have to know what kind of electronics you will be using as the antenna connectors are different. You need to hook something up to the pigtail on the dish as the signal degrades very quickly. I used a Linksys WET11 which is a bridge. Then this is hooked up via cat5 to a Linksys WAP11 which is a plain jane access point. If I were your friend I would get the WET11 first and if he has wireless access in his other building he may be able to make the jump with just that hardware. The WET11 is a bridge and if you know the name of the access point you just put it into the WET11's setup and it will auto-connect and you have a network. You can connect to the WET11 directly with cat5 and plug into your computer. I connected the new feed dish to the old feed dish with silicon and I will be putting a tupperware dish around it to protect it from the weather. Also notice in the pictures that the dish is mounted upside down as our shot is horizontal and not up into space. I then bought a small pigtail to convert the feedhorn connection to the connection that was on my airport card. I had to remove the battery and there is a cover plate that was removed and then I could disconnect the internal antenna and connect the dish. I then fired up Macstumbler which will list and speak the name of the access points that it finds. I then moved and aimed the dish until I found my access point that I was going to use (there were a bunch out there ) and then locked down the dish. This is the point I am at now and I will be hooking up the electronics next year with POE (power over ethernet) and weather proofing everything. Hope this helps but I would start with just the WET11 first as that may all he needs. Got a little couch potato?

I have my cable modem in one room hooked up to my desktop and using a wireless router I can hook in with my laptop from the rest of the house. Speed was pretty slow though, so I ran a ethernet cable thru the closet and bought a 50' ethernet cable - now the speeds are pretty high at 100mbps. IIRC, the wireless speed was 1/3 of that.

Re: [MBZ] O/T Router
I would love to run a cable to her house or put a dish on her house, but she is a very impatient person. She was my wifes best friend so I've helped for about ten years with various problems. As long as something can be fixed in one day she's okay, but let it disrupt her daily routine or take two days and she's just as likely to dump the whole project. One daughter sent her a nice Apple computer which she used with a minimal amount of bad language and help from the local Apple owners for several years. Then she bought another Apple which gave her nothing but trouble, so another daughter, who works for Dell, sent her a Dell comp. She asked me to set it up and get it working, which I did. Then she wanted me to get it on line with a DSL. I spent about a half day trying to make it work (turned out Sprints modem was defective), and told her I'd come back the next day to finish it after I read up on a few things and talked to Sprint. I asked her to call me when she got up. She never did. I think she just let the new computer set for a few days and then called Sprint and raised a big fuss, which induced them to come out and get it working. I don't think she could handle what would be entailed in running cable to her computer or setting up a dish. She has an interesting history. Her father was a Phd in physics who worked for an oil company and was stationed in Malaysia, which was where she grew up. I think they got out of there just ahead of the invading Japanese in 1941. Glad to know fiber has come down. This is the lightning capital of world, and the last time it came in the house it travelled out a telephone cable to the shop and wiped out a monitor and a couple of other things. About a dozen different items in the house got zapped including the refrigerator. I'd like to run fiber from the shop to the house some day since it's not supposed to be as seriously affected by lightning.

Re: [MBZ] Airport Express
No loss of efficiency over very long runs. At the school that I work at, we have a number of intermediate data frames in each building, and the fiber runs between these and the main data frame are easily 100+ feet or more. If you have the hardware that can use fiber, you can pick up pre-terminated cables on eBay for very little coin.

[MBZ] Ultra low sulfur diesel. Trouble for old injector pumps?
Hello all. I suspect this has been discussed before, but I don't know. Does anyone know if the current ultra low sulfur diesel has any bad effect on old Bosch injection pumps. like on a 1981 VW Rabbit? Yes, I have one of those. Its a curious, loud, shaky little car, but fun in its own way. Gets 40+ mpg with badly worn piston rings, low compression and burning oil at 150 mi/qt. If there is a bad effect on th IP, is there anything I can do about it? I'l start back driving the VW sometime in October if my plans work out. I need to put my good diesel engine it in in place of the worn one with a blown head gasket and low compression otherwise. Thanks Robert 1983 230E (123) Grey market Benz 144K miles. OK right now. 1981 VW Rabbit diesel 204K miles. Dead. Blown head gasket. 1976 Ford F 150 460 engine 400K+ miles on chassis. Dead. Hole in timing cover leaks water.

You will have to add sulfur replacement additive for that rotary IP. I will have to due the same on my Volvo, it also uses the rotary distributor type pump. Available at all truck stops, I think.

Go over to Lowe's or Homeless Depot and buy a full spool of Cat 5e. 1000 foot spool will run you about $100. That's about twice what it was last time I bought it, but the price of copper wire is through the roof. We have a broom closet near the front door, so I mounted a wiring cabinet (about $50 from Fry's)and ran wire out to each room from there (called hub and spoke or homerun layout). The wiring cabinet has a patch panel for cable coax, one for telco connnections, and a 110 block for data connections. Also mounted the sprinkler system controller and ran the sprinkler valve control wires to the wiring closet. Each room in the house gets a 4 pair Cat 5e cable for network and a 4 pair Cat 5e for telco, and a coax for cable. Since the telco drop is 4 pair, I connect up two pair for two phone lines in each room (more on that below) which leaves me with two more pair for emergencies. I mounted a Netgear WGT624 WAP in the closet for when I don't feel like running a drop cable to the nearest network drop. Since my daughter, son-in-law, and the 3 grandkids live next door, I ran a Cat 5e line between the houses, so we all use the same ISP connection I have an 8 port router plus the Netgear wireless router, and they have a router in their house as well. My wife works from home 3 days a week, so she makes good use of the fast internet connection. I ran a telco line in from the telco network interface to my wiring closet and installed a VOIP (Vonage) adapter in the closet so I could run the two separate telco connections for each room. I dropped all but basic local POTS service from Verizon, and we use Vonage for VOIP, and Skype to call our daughter in the UK. If all else fails, we've got cell phones. This is the third house I've wired...I think I got it pretty close what I wanted this time...Next level is to run wire for stereo and video to all the rooms...I think I'll pass on that one.

Re: [MBZ] Ultra low sulfur diesel. Trouble for old injector pumps?
Howes lubricator is some great stuff for pumps ( and it does a nice job of cleaning ), but the lubrication isn't the big problem, With changing the fuels, older pumps ( all kinds ) are sprouting seal leaks, it's not that the new stuff will eat up new pump seals, its just that old seal material is used to the old formula and changing to the new stuff results in leaks. Once the leaks are fixed, the new seals *should* last as long as they would on the old stuff. If you have the engine out already, and if you have the tools to time the thing, might be a good idea to pop the pump off and replace the shaft seal and the orings on the side plates.

Re: [MBZ] Ultra low sulfur diesel. Trouble for old injector pumps?
The last genset place I worked for was a Stanadyne rep, and they (Stanadyne) sold a fuel additive similar to RedLine that was for use in engines with their rotary pumps when using low-sulphur fuels. I don't recall which additive it was, but they have some good information on their Web site about them: http://www.stanadyne.com/new/ppt/ppt_dfa.asp An aside: While I was working for this company I was driving my 1982 300SD. A forklift poked a hole in a pallet full of the stuff one time, so there were all these damaged containers of the fuel additive. I asked if I could buy some of them off the company, since they couldn't retail them. The owner says, Hell, take all you want - we've already written them off. I had diesel fuel additive for months after that...

Seal leaks are more of a problem with biodiesel than with ultra-low sulfur, but those rotary pumps do NOT like ultra-low diesel at all.

Re: [MBZ] Ultra low sulfur diesel. Trouble for old injector pumps?
Rotary pumps use the fuel as a lubricant I can see where there would be a problem if ultra-low sulfur diesel has less lubricating properties than the old stuff. But if memory serves me right, it's the paraffin in the diesel that is a lubricant, not the sulfur. Also, rotary pumps rarely last more than 60,000 miles of city driving because the internals are aluminum and they tend to wear fast until they are warm. This was a real issue with the early 80's GM Olds 350 based diesel engines. The same rotary pump that would go 300,000 miles in a cross country truck was dying with 60,000 miles of city driving.
