No.  Ad-hoc only allows radios that can see each other to talk. No radio will relay to a radio further away.       Kind Regards,   David     David Blood Account Executive SpeedyQuick Networks, Inc    9892 Sleepy Hollow Ln Boise, Id 83714 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 208-284-5505                 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon Schafer (509-982-2181) Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2003 10:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] A Bridge Too Far? Ad-Hoc means that all radios can talk to all others.   I've often wondered what would happen if a guy built a network out of all omni antennas out in the forrest and set up all clients as ad-hoc.  Could a guy build his own mesh system?   marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Calkins To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 9:22 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] A Bridge Too Far? infatructure is for access point, like one AP connecting mutiple clients and ad-hoc would be for connecting two computers together in a ptp solution.   my educated or not educated guess.   i have never used ad-hoc mode. :P   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of phantam Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 10:19 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [smartBridges] A Bridge Too Far? Very good point so I guess it comes down to "ADHOC vs Infrastructure" is his question. This I have no idea about the advantages or disadvantages of either.   From: Eric Calkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2003 12:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   airbiridge will talk to airbridge in ad-hoc mode. :)              From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon Schafer (509-982-2181) Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 10:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] A Bridge Too Far? Airbridge won't talk to airbridge.  One end has to be an ap.   That was easy!   marlon   ----- Original Message ----- From: Oliver Leamy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 2:22 PM Subject: [smartBridges] A Bridge Too Far?   Hi Folks,   I have a couple of AirNic/AirPoint units in various configurations under test, and they are working fine.  Now we want to look at the hardware that should be used for point-to-point.  We are having arguments here about what the correct hardware configuration should be.  I've been trying to act as a referee but have to admit that my knowledge is a bit lacking - so HELP!!!!   CAMP-1:  At location-A use an AirPoint with an omni as the local.  Then connect a second AirPoint via LAN cable and put a directional antenna on the AirPoint to communicate with a mirror system at location-B.  This does work, and I suppose that is the important thing.   CAMP-2:  This group says that AirBridges should be used instead of AirPoints for the Point-To-Point link.  Howeverm they cannot explain why the AirBridge should be better.   Anyone out there got any ideas.  My lazy option is to stick with the AirPoints because we have a load of spare AirPoints, but if the AirBridge has advantages, then I am willing to have my arm twisted!!!     Oliver Leamy   Ogenek Teoranta, Ballingeary, Macroom County Cork +353 (26) 47808 ; +353 (86) 8337664
