3 Computers and a WLAN

by jcf. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.

from the “it-just-works” dept:

three people, three computers, three operating systems – one new WLAN access point in my office.

Installing the access point (D-Link AP2000) and finding the DHCP setting for it’s IP adress: 5 minutes (D-Link could use some help designing the web interface for their access point… Good: You have to change the default admin password to use it)

  • Mac OS/X: online without intervention
  • Windows XP: online with one manual intervention (select to connect to insecure WLAN)
  • Linux: online with severe manual intervention (and writing obscure stuff in some configuration files)

All in all – a really enjoyable experience…

And – it does tell you something about ZAPPATA Personal Groupware

    Google washing, eh?

    We want names. Three people.

  2. Names? You’ve got OSes already. Two of the names should be obvious by now – that leaves a mysterious third person…

    But he’s mentioned in more than one post here on my blog, so I’ll let you do some hunting on your own (there’s a handy search function on the blog). You’re not sleeping anyway ;-)
