| daf666 | ofcourse |
| Xilon | well I could buy a wifi NIC and just basically do what I'm doing now |
| daf666 | 24 bit 255.255.255.0 |
| Xilon | yeah... well I can't ping, heh... no Idea if the NIC acutally owrks though works* |
| daf666 | i`m not sure that with a wifi nic you can be an access point |
| Xilon | hmm now sure why not, on a Mac it's as easy as creating a new network for others to connect |
| daf666 | well, imagine two laptops, can they connect to eachother with wifi, without an access point? |
| Xilon | yup I've done it plenty of times |
| daf666 | how? |
| Xilon | played Quake on the bus:D |
| daf666 | cool :D |
| Xilon | well it was on two Macs... you just made a new network and it worked then on the other Mac you just select that network from the list |
| daf666 | oh.. maybe its a mac thingie |
| Xilon | nah, it was a normal network |
| tomkx | No, it's generic - it's called ad-hoc mode |
| daf666 | I always thought you need an access point |
| Xilon | Only the Macbook has wifi in my house atm so I can't check :( ah, the NIC has to support it then |
| tomkx | Xilon - is the PC with the two NICS used for anything? If not, you could install IPCop or something like that on it, and you're set up |
| action | tomkx lives his IPCop |
| tomkx | lives his IPCop loves. even :) |
| Xilon | tomkx: I use it mainly as a leech box atm... what's IPCop? heh.. google, I know :P |
| tomkx | Router/firewall distro - ipcop.org |
| Xilon | ahh, that would be a bit of a waste heh, this PC is the most pwerful in the house well, maybe the Macbook is better in terms of CPU |
| tomkx | OK - total waste, then :) Mine runs on a Pentium 200 with 64MB RAM |
| wingot | Xilon: It looks like it had been a while since you did an update :) |
| daf666 | pentium 200.. the wow starts now |
| wingot | daf666: I pwn you with my compy 400Mhz! |
| Xilon | wingot: indeed, for the past month I've just been doing assignments and such on the laptop, and this PC was just on 24/7 leeching/seeding |
| daf666 | ipcop would run great on a machine like that.. just packet forwarding stuff |
| wingot | tomkx: ipcop is good, but I like to do things the "custom" way |
| Xilon | tomkx: I want something like that :( lol |
| wingot | So will be openwrt for my router Actually, sorry, I pwn tomkx |
