From School2007
Proposed exercise for Wednesday February 8th.
Contents |
[edit] Activity 1: Connect to the arpl-lab network
Connect one computer to the arpl-lab access point and browse the Internet. Post the results to your diary page.
You should connect using both Windows XP and Linux.
Linux login: arpllab password: wifilab
[edit] Activity 2: Connect your group's network to the wireless network
Disconnect your group's switch from the wired network. Create a connection from your group's local network to the arpl-lab network using only one radio card.
All computers connected to your local network should be able to browse the Internet via the wireless link.
[edit] Activity 3: Install an access point
Add an access point to your group's network. Set the name of the network to your group's name, and select an appropriate channel (and other wireless settings, if necessary.)
Post your setttings (and why you chose them) to the wiki.
[edit] 140.105.16.50 is the DNS
[edit] Activity 4: Become a wireless ISP
All groups will take turns becoming a wireless ISP. Group one will be the first ISP, using the Ethernet connection to the lab network. The groups must work together to connect their own local wired network to the ISP via wireless. Be sure to consider:
- Wireless settings (channel, AP vs. Client, etc.)
- Network settings (IP addresses and routes)
- Efficiency and redundancy
After all groups have connected to the Internet via the wireless, it will be Group two's turn to be the ISP, and Groups one and three must connect over the wireless to the Internet. And so on.
[edit] Activity 5: DD-WRT
