I have some neighbors running Windows who are connecting to my network (authorized). I'm using a Linksys WRT54G and all Linux internal services. I monitor connections to the AP every five minutes and record interruptions for the authorized users. I find that the neighbors lose connection every few days. Unfortunately, they are not savvy enough to provide any correlated feedback that might identify a local cause. I have found that power-cycling the WRT54G will usually clear the problem and bring up their connections, without any action on their part. Since the AP is on a pole on the roof (<http://www.compata.com/wisp.html>) and I'm using PoE, I hooked up an X-10 adapter and drop power for eight seconds every hour with a cron job. My logs show most connections restored shortly after the power cycle. I've never noticed this problem for my own wireless connections to the AP from Linux laptops. However, I don't do that a lot since I have wired connections readily available. -- Dave Close, Compata, Costa Mesa CA +1 714 434 7359 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I don't need bodyguards." -- Jimmy Hoffa, June 1975 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SOCALWUG" group.
