I might be interested on one but, where I can see a picture of what you
have to see if is what I need.

Thanks.

  Is this a climbing harness or a safety harness for a platform/bucket
  truck/aerial lift/roof etc?
 
  Others told you about the tower ones (I happen to prefer the DBI Sala for
  that)
 
 
 
  But the simpler one with only the rear D ring that is for the equipment I
  mentioned can also be had at Home Depot in a pinch. About $70.00
 
  Reason I mention this is that some of us have bucket trucks or rent lifts 
  as
  well and OSHA watches them too. We were just field inspected a few weeks
  ago.

 This was discussed on some vendor forums too, I think UBNTs.
 
 Most pigtails shipped with radios are too cheap for their own good.  They
 are not properly shielded.  Some WISPs have found that they can put more
 radios on a tower if they use better pigtails, which they either make
 themselves or hand-select (one person found that Laird pigtails were
 sometimes good, but not all of them).
 
 Pigtails can be lossy, reducing effective antenna gain, and can leak, which
 makes it susceptible to local interference. This has nothing to do with the
 number of clients, though.  That's just silly.

[WISPA] MikroTik as Load Balancer?

Hello.

I was thinking of using MikroTik rb450g to balance four 5mbps/1mbps dsl
lines to replace TP-Link TL-R480+ which locks up from time to time. 

Just wanted to know how many of you use MT routerOS for load balancing
and how is working out for you.

 You could use RB-750 which is much cheaper than RB-450G to balance
 that little traffic, or RB-750G if you want to have room for growth.
 It works just fine... nth+conn-mark rules can provide very good
 per-connection load-balancing, and the quirks of some sites/networks
 that require to use fail-over instead of load-balancing are also
 doable.
 
 I really prefer building blocks instead of final products to do
 loadbalancing stuff, as there will always be another thing that
 doesn't mix up with it and you can always make it work.
 
 For two uplinks, it would look like this:
 
 0   chain=prerouting action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=RotaGrupoA
 passthrough=no in-interface=LAN
 connection-mark=ConexaoGrupoA
 
  1   chain=prerouting action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=RotaGrupoB
 passthrough=no in-interface=LAN
 connection-mark=ConexaoGrupoB
 
  2   chain=prerouting action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=ConexaoGrupoA
 passthrough=yes in-interface=LAN nth=2,1
 
  3   chain=prerouting action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=RotaGrupoA
 passthrough=no in-interface=LAN
 connection-mark=ConexaoGrupoA
 
  4   chain=prerouting action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=ConexaoGrupoB
 passthrough=yes in-interface=LAN
 
  5   chain=prerouting action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=RotaGrupoB
 passthrough=no in-interface=LAN
 
 (and then two default routes, each one tiead to one of the routing marks)
 
 Four uplinks require more chains with nth=4,1 then nth=3,1, then
 nth=2,1 and then the last uplink. You will also need the no
 load-balance rules prior to this rule group doing some form of
 fail-over.
 
 
 Rubens

Thanks Rubens for your reply.

I was playing around with a spare rb433 doing something similar to what
you just posted (nth+conn-mark rules) but, things were not working
properly. I noticed my connections were really really slow, I don't know
if I did something wrong.

One other thing, how about fail over? If one line goes out would the
other 3 work and that other line would be ignored until is back up? How
can that be done?

I would also love to prioritize traffic, SYN ACK flags and DNS be on the
highest priority, etc... 

I know is too much but, would like to do something like that, I don't
know if all these are doable at the same time.

Any suggestions?

[WISPA] How can I serve pages on frameset?

2010-12-06 Thread Optimum Wireless Services
Hello.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask about this issue, if is
not then, please apologize.

I have a small WISP in my town and I would like to offer free internet
service at coffee shops, restaurant, and other public places but, this
free service will have its limitations: All pages would have an
advertisement or promotion on top just like NetZero used to do in the
past. I think this is done with frameset but, don't know how to force
this for all the pages. 

I would like to do this with php/mysql and if the user tries to remove
the frame then maybe redirect them to pay per hour/day etc service.

I have a linux gateway that runs squid and would like certain ip
addresses (free ones) to view pages with this promo on top or even have
pop ups from time to time whichever is easier.

Thinking about it, maybe this can be done on apache server.

Can this be done? If so, can you please provide any suggestions?

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Just a quick stupid question:

If I have two omni antennas both transmitting at 2.4GHz but, one with

Also, both antennas might be installed on the same tower next to each

Re: [WISPA] Problems with facebook and hotmail

That's exactly how things are in our network. Speedtest look good but,
once the client goes to Facebook and Hotmail things just don't work
well.

Any solution or suggestions?

Re: [WISPA] Quick question

2010-12-02 Thread Optimum Wireless Services
We have 4 sector antennas on a couple of our towers but, they're getting
too much noise and interference from all over the area. I'm wanted to
install a bullet on each tower at 10Mhz so, I can transfer many of our
ns2 to it. I can't do it on the panels because we have older equipment
that don't support 10mhz. Can't go to 5.8ghz becuase we still don't have
any 5.8 radio.

I'm looking for ways to decrease latency which at times are extremely
high, over 1000ms (very ridiculous). 

I have a tower with an omni on it and would like to add another omni on
this one to try to do the same as with the others.

Re: [WISPA] Quick question

2010-12-02 Thread Optimum Wireless Services
I'm thinking of putting the additional Omni to try to ease things. If
things work out well, then I'll just install other panels on 10mhz and
any new install would be on 10mhz. Also, keep those old equipment on the
20mhz panels since we don't have the funds to replace them. 

Don't know if having 4 panels on 20mhz and probably 3 other sector on
10mhz might interfere.

That's why my question about if having both on the same tower and closed
to each other may cause problems.

 Since putting these rules in, a lot of our NAT issues have gone away.
 We have a LOT of customers on Facebook and Hotmail, and they get very

 This is on a StarOS NAT box, but we are going to be replacing it with

I'm suspecting squid might be the problem. I disabled squid and I'm just
forwarding and things look better. Now, I will test it this evening when
more people are connected.

Without squid I'm able to throttle upload traffic so, that might be
another reason why things may work better.

 Agreed, everyone gets different photo and messages depending who their

 BTW, Watch out on not controlling the upload, one sub ftp'ing  out or P2P
 could kill your full download.  I'm guessing, but, you are probably only 1/2

Yes. I'm doing NAT for the entire network.

Someone suggested to upgrade to the squid ver 3.1. I was using 3.0.24.
Upgraded and will run the newer version and see how things work. I need
squid on the network to save a little bit of bw. Also I'm running
videocache which needs squid.

I'll let you know how things go from here.

I'm not using MikroTik for the gw. I'm running it on a Debian Lenny box
with an iptables script. Look into tcp max connections maybe?

 max possible NAT connections.  I'm pretty sure this was on a Mikrotik at the
 time, but it's been a few years back so I can't remember all the details.  
 
 With this many customers I would be looking at something better than ADSL
 connections.

[WISPA] Problems with facebook and hotmail

2010-11-25 Thread Optimum Wireless Services
Hello.

Lately my customers have been experiencing problems accessing facebook
and hotmail. They claim they can't access their email on hotmail after
entering their credentials and can't see pictures and other people's
profile on facebook. Don't know if is our network or what. We have 3
5mbps/1mbps dsl lines that really give us 4.5/800. We have about 120
customers and have complained so much about it that is already getting
on me.

Just wanted to know if any of you have experienced problems with these
two websites.

Thanks in advanced.

Re: [WISPA] Problems with facebook and hotmail

2010-11-25 Thread Optimum Wireless Services
Travis, thanks for replying. I first thought I didn't have enough
bandwidth but, I have three 5meg lines. Previously I only had 2 and
things were worst. After adding the additional line things got better
but, not really good. 

Our three lines are connected to tp-link load balancer then to our gw
running debian which throttles user's bandwithd at 512kbps download, not
able to throttle upload bw yet. Also this gw is running squid for cache.

You still think I need to add another line?

Re: [WISPA] Problems with facebook and hotmail

I don't use Facebook much but, I had to lately in order to test the
problem. Is actually a little slow from time to time. All other pages
load fine. That's what I don't understand.

I found this about facebook:

http://support.momentoapp.com/discussions/problems/106-problem-with-facebook-connection

http://www.facebook.com/KnownIssues/posts/171845609509593

I'm puzzled at all this and is really getting on my nerves. I have
people complaining about it.

Thanks.

Re: [WISPA] Problems with facebook and hotmail

2010-11-25 Thread Optimum Wireless Services
It makes sense. But, according to the squid-user mailing list is not a
problem with squid. I haven't test it without squid yet. I'll have to
wait until the weekend to work on that.

BTW, Happy Thanksgiving day to everyone!

 Agreed, everyone gets different photo and messages depending who their
 associated to. it would probably drive the squid nuts, especially when FB is
 busy and slow and squid is trying to compare.  
 BTW, Watch out on not controlling the upload, one sub ftp'ing  out or P2P
 could kill your full download.  I'm guessing, but, you are probably only 1/2
 duplex.

Re: [WISPA] Brute Force Attacks

2010-10-25 Thread Optimum Wireless Services
I've been getting attacked as well but, it has decreased after I took
some mearsures. I changed the ssh server not to accept root login:
PermitRootLogin no

Also installed fail2ban and on top of that created a script that would
block ip addresses I find in the log:

BAD=/etc/badIp
IPS=$(cat $BAD)

$iptables --delete-chain blockBadIp
$iptables -N blockBadIp
$iptables -F blockBadIp

# $iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -s

$iptables -A blockBadIp -j DROP

for i in $IPS
do
$iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i $EXT_IFACE -s $i -j blockBadIp
$iptables -A INPUT -p udp -i $EXT_IFACE -s $i -j blockBadIp
done
