i posted a brick report, do uploads take moderator approval or did i not submit correctly? 

I think the amp is dead. I ordered 2 complete sets of all the above equipment. I was trying to setup a link between two points. The TX light on the inverter and amp on the mast do not flash nearly as often as the one I haven't installed as of yet. So I got an RMA for the defective one. I just have to crawl my butt back up on the roof to replace one with the other. I'd open it up if I couldn't send it back. Sorry

The ip linked to your mail server is on a blacklist with BACKSCATTERER, and my exchange server doesn't like that. I'll send it through gmail & see if that works.

Check out: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/

Put in your domainname k5ktf.com, click lookup, and then click "Blacklist Check" by mail.k5ktf.com

Hopefully you can contact them, and get it removed as a bunch of mail servers check the blacklists.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I finally installed my 15 db antenna and a 4w amp. I'm not getting the type of signal that I expected even in line of sight. When I tested everything before the install I was getting a Signal of 10 to 14 on my wardriving app. Now after the install I have a signal of 68 to 78 only 40ft away LOS. The power light is on the amp and the TX light flickers. When I tested on the ground I didnt have the lighting arrester yet.  I have a wrt54gl pigtail to the dc injector, 30ft of lmr400 to the amp, 2ft lmr400 to lightning arrester, 2ft lmr400 to antenna. The antenna is here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046CBR3W/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 . The amp is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003B09GBU/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 .

Lost,

Sure thing!

Do a google search for biquad dish feed and you should find Trevor Marshall's page with designs.

Can "Dish Network" dish be used for a mesh antenna?  I have about 6 laying around the shop.

I saw this mentioned on another forum I'm one.  Anyone else seen it?

UDR56K-4 New Product Release

Try http://NODENAME.austin.tx.us.mesh:8080 See if adding the fully qualified domain name (the .austin.tx.us.mesh) helps. Put the full nodename-ssid at NODENAME

If THAT works, then:

go into network settings, find your NIC adapter, right click-- properties.

scroll down to TCP/IP networking, again, go into its properties

go to Advanced settings, DNS tab

There should be a radio button that says Append these DNS suffixes (in order). Click it, then add "austin.tx.us.mesh" (without quotes), and then OK all the way out and try again with just NODENAME:8080.

Hi all:

  I am new to networking and mesh.  I flashed 2 wrt54G routers sucessfully.  When I type in the IP address, I get my N7FV-1 page and can view who is on the mesh, setup pages, wireless scan ect.  What I cannot do is click on somebody (N7FV-2) in the mesh list and get into them.  I also cannot access the OLSR page.   I am using Windows 7 Home edition.   I have tried Google Chrome and Firefox both to no avail.   This is a new problem, I was able to access both right after I flashed the routers.  I Have tried connecting to both routers and used different cables also.  The fact that I get the same problem on both routers leads me to believe it is a PC/Browser issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I think SAMC is on the tunnel. I am not exactly sure where on the building the node is located. I believe this may be it. I have also been told that SAMC has horizontal polarization.

According to http://wisp.heywhatsthat.com/ you may have line of sight depending on where you are in your complex.

I have tried from my location with a 24Db dish and have had no luck with the vegetation.

/usr/local/bin/node-setup

I would like to get a number of nodes operating in the 78704 and 78745 areas. I do not yet know if any of us have connections the the mesh, but if necessary i am interested in trying to get a node placed in a weather-proof box at a couple feet altitude in the 78704 with an omni directional high gain. Alternately, as a start; when will the SAMC node be on the mesh? we can start branching from it temporarily until we can get some central nodes up to branch downtown for us. 

also i am willing to put up TEMPORARILY a node on the internet to get a tunnel to South Austin, but i do not know the linux required, so would need help.
