Maintenance and System Log

2006-08-28: Been having continuing problems with routing failures, which seemed to be related to using static rather than DHCP network configuration on the DSL side. The thing preventing us from using DHCP was the provision of the wrong default gateway address. Today I figured out how to override that setting in /etc/dhclient.conf. Switched to DHCP from static, and we'll see how that does. --RussellSenior
2006-08-16: Reconnected Kate McPherron down the street whose WET11 had been out since the old node left. The WET11 needed repointing at the new SSID --RussellSenior
2006-06-07: Ran new cat5 from the demarc to the DSL modem in the basement. Fixed up lan access with iptables hackery. --RussellSenior
2006-06-05: Apparently flakey phone wire to the basement jack. Working on moving to better jack or rewiring basement run. Temporarily dysfunctional. --RussellSenior
2006-06-03: Installed today. Metrix is bridging to a nucab, ramona. DSL is provided by Stephouse via Covad. DSL modem is in PPPoE, a Broadxent Briteport DSL modem serves (what I assume is) relay'd DHCP. For some reason, the nucab is coming up without a default route (or it gets lost almost right away), which seems to confuse NoCatAuth. Adding the default route manually and restarting NoCat seems to fix it, but it isn't clear why it is failing to begin with. Also, upload speed (as reported by the DSL modem) is only 96 kbps. That kind of sucks. Also, we need to wire up and configure local access. And bill the node host for the remaining items on the parts list. --RussellSenior

ToDo

In approximate order of priority

Bill NodeHost for remaining parts
See if we can get some press in the HollywoodStar
Pay CalebPhillips back for chimney stuffs
