Wireless Setup

Well, today I acted as an IT specialist for Brucker and Kishler Funeral Home. For months and months they have been trying to make their internet available over wireless, both for guests in their cafe, as well as for my wife and others working there. I set out this morning to make it work. By the time I left late this afternoon wireless was working for everyone. Tomorrow I need to extend their wireless and encryp the connection.

Everyone is very pleased!!!

The major problem was that the DSL server they were using was PPPoE while the wireless was DHCP!!! No wonder they were frustrated, ever try to comunicate with a Chinese national! LOL

Unfortunately the owner had forgotten the log in info, and the modem was 10 years old and did not even have an ip address. We had to use telnet to communicate with the modem. As a result, plus that of the provider having messed up the log in name, complicated matters a great deal. BUT, when I left not only was everyone on line, but the wireless was working.

Tomorrow I set up a Linksys extender, enable WEP, change the network name, enable network accesibility ... and I will be done.

You can't access the Father apart from the SON. Everything must speak the same language, and that is the role of the Holy Spirit! It is sad that just because the connected light is on some feel they have reached the Father!!!
