[nlug] Powerline ethernet
Does anyone have any experience with Powerline ethernet and suggestions on what product to get? I have just moved and my new apartment is setup so that I have three rooms that need networking. Being an apartment, EVERYONE has wireless so the bandwidth available is nil. I want to have my data storage in my server room (ok, office / 2nd bedroom) and still have my media accessible in the Living room and bedroom for playing on the TVs there. While I could run wire I cannot wire the place so either I have wire running across the floors or tacked to the walls / ceiling or I find another method. Powerline ethernet is an option I am considering but want to know what experience I can expect before shelling out a couple of hundred bucks for the three adapters I would need. I am currently looking at the Linksys Powerline PLK300 http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-PLK300-PowerLine-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B001J2ZSL4/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_2 but am open to suggestions.

Re: [nlug] Powerline ethernet
I used it a little in the past. Not bad but not good either. I tend to remember X10 devices giving some interfeerance, but I was in a single family dwelling and was the only one with any power line devices. ... Back when ATT did a fixed wireless network and telephone combo in the Houston area, the ATT appliance served the internet over the power lines, plus we had to 'login' (at least on my gateway box), then it went to my wired network within the house. ...

[nlug] NIS/LDAP for Windows XP customer
Glutton for punishment? Probably. Am I gonna recommend Active Directory? Not a ~...@#$%^ chance! Anybody got any references on how to do this the hard way? Anybody want to add to my pain, oh say, during the LinuxFest September 25?? Howard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups NLUG group.

Re: [nlug] NIS/LDAP for Windows XP customer
We use SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11) to do NT-style domains (because I hate Active Directory) and it uses LDAP so it can be tied into other systems. (You could just as easily use OpenSuSE but we needed Enterprise support, so we went with SLES.) Works fine with XP and Vista. Windows 7 has some issues joining the domain (though it can browse shares just fine.) I'm sure there is a fix, but I haven't figured it out yet.
