Now, now, Dean... no need to be bashful... I know you're in charge of a peer-to-peer LANtastic network at home, so I think you qualify.
I guess someone like Roger de Salis doesn't though. He flogs network gear, but doesn't operate much, right?
Roger does have his own home network to tend too, although its wireless rather than copper/duct tape/string...
Nope - wireless with a copper feed to the house. The router is actually on the house of another customer along the road with about 150m of cat-5 between them. We extended the cat-5 with a switch in the middle (one our our NIDs without any fiber, it lets us supply feeds to others in the area). We do this quite a bit to have a network larger than what is covered by the fiber and in areas we wouldn't normally go to. No the cat-5 isn't blue, its external cat-5. Roger just consumes more IP number space than normal. richard.naylor(a)citylink.co.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
