Re: Campus wont let us have routers
Why would they not let you have a router????? At purdue routers are recommended for multiple computers as each person only gets 1 dynamic ip address per student username. If you use xbox live or anything like that you will need a router at purdue.
When I was in the dorms we found someone hooked up their router wrong, and it was giving us 192 ips. I just logged into to it with the default password and did a bad firmware flash to brick it and prevent it from giving out ips again. |

| A lot of times these registration things require a web browser. I know UCR's resnet specifically says that they don't support PS/2's, even if you don't have a computer, because they can't log on to the web registration interface. (And because they're too lazy to actually manually register the cards.)
Having a router gets around this problem, as you only need one computer behind the router with a web browser to register the MAC. |

That was a nice thing to do, destroy someones router, even though they are allowed on the network. Can I destroy your computer now because it's causing tcp/ip traffic?
Makes me happy that I'm planning on getting a box to run m0n0wall with a switch behind it |
