Re: [ubuntu-uk] Wireless N routers
For powerline adapters to work, they need to run on the same electrical ring main. As each house will have it's own fuse box ring main, leakage to outside of the home is not going to be an issue. Most vendors offer some sort of vendor security for privacy anyways. If you're really concerned, use IPSec Transport mode. Jake 2008/12/18 Ian Pascoe softy.lofty@btinternet.com Gents Although I agree that the idea of PowerLine adapters is a great one and can be a boon may I put in a word of caution? As the majority of homes do not have any type of filtering on the mains that comes into the house, the PowerLine will end up broadcasting back into the local domestic mains feeds. Generally speaking this is not a problem as the signal degrades before it can either be tapped into or cause interference, but if you live in, let's say a communual block of flats, and someone else also uses PowerLine adapters, there is a fair chance that persons outside of your home may gain access to your network. Personal case in point - brother lived in a flat and regularly got interference coming through his mains and affecting his TV and most notably radio. He got so desperate in the end that he got mains filters and hey presto all became crystal clear again. He subsequently found out that his next door neighbour was using these adapters and with some co-operation he found out that the interference disappeared when the PowerLine adapters were powered off. So be careful out there!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] SolarNetOne solar-powered LTSP installation
Looks good, but I imagine the network latency would be too high to run any VoIP services from 2 miles over an unlicenced radio frequency Jake 2008/10/29 Ian Pascoe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unashamedly cribbed from another list - very interesting application of LTSP and Ubuntu! Ian http://gnuveau.net/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi From the overview: The SolarNetOne ICT terminal network was conceived and designed to solve the challenging problem of how to provide Internet access and services to rural and developing areas where there is no existing power or communications infrastructure. This problem is solved by combining several powerful technologies: Photovoltaic solar electrical systems, GNU/Linux, 802.11a/b/g packet radio, commonly known as wifi, Power over Ethernet, and the MIT X11 windowing system. It has been described as an ISP in a box, for reasons detailed below. SERVER The SolarNetOne system incorporates a powerful server in a small form factor that acts as the core of the communications system. It provides mid to long range wireless internet coverage up to a 2 mile radius through its integrated high power 802.11a/b/g wireless access point and high gain omni-directional antenna. This configuration can be used to provide full internet access, including Voice over IP telephone service, to the immediate coverage area, which can be extended to longer ranges through the use of wireless repeater devices. Also integrated into the server is the capability for full end-to-end internet communications by means of its HTTP (web), SMTP (email), DNS (domain name system), and SSH (secure shell) server software. Additional internet services can easily be added to the network by use of the APT (advanced package tool) repositories of GNU/Linux software available worldwide. This is an integral part of the underlying Ubuntu operating system. APT automates the often difficult task of installing and updating software, making system administration tasks of installation and maintenance easy, particularly when critical updates effecting network security are concerned. The server itself can also be used as a network console for administration or day-to-day operator use through its integrated monitor, keyboard, and mouse. TERMINALS Another key feature of the SolarNetOne system is its network attached terminals, which provide traditional desktop services one would normally associate with using a computer, with several powerful, attractive, and popular desktop environments to choose from. It comes pre-installed with web browsing, email, office, multimedia, software development and web development applications, as well as a choice of over 15000 other applications to suit most any computing need that are free for download through the APT system. The terminals themselves connect to the system's Ethernet hub, which provides both network connection and electrical power to the terminals and their LCD monitors over a single CAT6 Ethernet wire. This eliminates wire clutter and the need for extra power wiring costs. They operate as thin clients with the majority of the workload being handled by the server's higher capacity processors, enabling superior performance per over than a standalone PC architecture and significantly lower maintenance workload than a similar solution of several personal computers. Also available is full sound support through integrated audio jacks, 104 key keyboard, laser scroll mouse and the ability to plug USB memory sticks into the terminals, allowing users to take their data with them round out the terminal's ability to provide a complete and rich user experience. SolarNetOne comes standard with 5 terminals, and can expand to as many as 48 terminals per server node. As an option in areas where allowed by law, an ATA phone adapter provides Voice over IP telephone service through a standard telephone handset. POWER SYSTEM The entire SolarNetOne system is powered by 12VDC electrical current supplied through the system's elegant solar power generation and storage subsystem. Using an array of photovoltaic solar panels, an advanced charge controller, ample battery storage, and a design focusing on safety, the power subsystem provides for all of the electrical needs associated with 24/7 server operation and 8 hours per day of terminal access. Integrated circuit breakers on every segment of the power sub-system provide the safest possible implementation. In addition to its excellent performance, the use of solar power means no fuel costs, no polluting emissions, and a long lifespan of up to 20 years of use at listed power ratings with proper maintenance. USER APPLICATIONS The SolarNetOne system comes pre-installed with a wide variety of user applications. For the user, these include: Mozilla Firefox suite for web browsing and email Evolution for email and calendering OpenOffice? for office applications GIMP and InkScape? for
Re: [ubuntu-uk] OT: Debian apache2 problem
Are you using static NAT, i.e 1-1, 80.87.131.49 - 10.10.10.1 or whatever your internal IP is and can it handle the amount of translations its performing? Also if you're behind a shared firewall, can it handle the amount of traffic passing through it? Check your firewall/iptables logs where connections are initialized, but not followed through - TCP SYN messages from different hosts but no SYN/ACK - SYN. Could indicate a DDoS attack. I had no trouble viewing your site though. Jake 2008/9/12 Johnathon Tinsley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, Slightly off topic.. I'm working on a debian server, which is currently hosting my blog: kirrus.co.uk Unfortunately, something appears to be screwy with apache2 or something - - connections aren't being closed, and are just backing up. You can see this in action, if you visit the blog. Sometimes it just doesn't hand you all the data, and firefox sits waiting for data from kirrus.co.uk. Apache just spawns server processes, till the RAM runs out. Then the kernel starts killing processes and it doesn't appear to kill the logical choice of apache2. I've tried pinging one of the other servers in the network, to see if its obviously a network problem. Out of over 20,000 pings, only 4 weren't replied to. Is there any better way to check the network infrastructure? Anyone have any other ideas of things to try?
