Re: [SLUG] appaling wireless performance

i think dd-wrt has auto, which will (afaik) make it try to find a clear 
channel

You could also see what channel it is operating on, if there are people 
next door (say you live in a unit), which are using wireless, which is 
almost certain these days.  If say they are on channel 9, you should not 
be using any channel near that plus/minus 2 or 3, for example you could 
try 6 or 12.  The easier option is just to try a bunch of channels and 
do a test copy.

Does anyone have any idea as to what might be going on here or
at least
where to start looking?

[SLUG] great gui snmp browser

[Dean Hamstead]

hey all

just curious if anyone can recommend a great snmp browser.
something that can load mibs, walk snmp agents, send sets to agents etc.
even perhaps diff'ing walks and sending traps

obviously there is net-snmp, but something with a gui.

[SLUG] Adobe

[jam]

Adobe are anal in their fussing!

LightRoom 2
US$299 but you have to register with a US address to purchase
AU$570
(both for a net download)

My wife has a uni student card, one of the girls in her camera club has got a 
student edition ($149), but I cannot find out where I can purchase (student 
edition)
Anybody have any clues.

My query to Adobe (we will answer in 1 business day) remains unanswered after 
a week.

Thanks
James

PS this looks like a very promising contender
