We currently have three external routes, all are up. Wireless has been deployed to the hotel, and we are still working to get good signal coverage to the Brit's Pub. We have a solution that will start to get executed later this afternoon. That should dramatically increase the coverage in

IETF58 Network - DHCP Leases - ARP Traffic

2003-11-10 Thread Brett Thorson
