Hello, welcome, from your cam.ac.uk address I am assuming you are from Cambridge Uni.
Blimey David, that was an amazing bit of detective work ;-)
Damn his Ju-jitsu devilry. He has circumvented my l33t h4><or information hiding system.
I would like to know the details, sounds like the Eddie Izard method of archaeology!
S'probably off-topic, but keep an eye out for volumes XVII and XVIII of my memoirs, coming soon from a vanity press near you.
Perhaps you can lend advice to a poor student who has be accused of being a wireless network expert and given the task of connecting a field somewhere in the bottom left hand corner of belguim a network connection for a week so a large quantity of geeks in various states of soberness can connect to the web! bugger!
I try to avoid giving advice, as people (quite unreasonably) start holding me to account for it. I'm just here to leech off you knowledgeable lot.
Heh, you don't have to worry about this David, all you have to do is get the wireless LAN to talk to the other bit, I can do all the Masquerade for the campsite and the networky bits and get all the DNS working etc. etc..... that (in answer to your question from irc last week) is what sys-admins are for and what sys-admins do!
