got the thing working this weekend. i've got a solid connection to an open wifi access point about a 1/2 mile away.

[sonofspam]

how are you hooking the slinger to the access point?

[mili]

With a network cable.

yeah with a access point about a 1/2 mile away dont you still have to have access to the router for port mapping?

[mili]

Not necessarily. Most routers need not to be configured period.

Sounds like a DNS resolution issue, is it a private or public AP? what do you get when you do an ipconfig /all? do you get DNS server listings?

Mclovin, what kind of bridge are you using? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I have 3 unsecured networks in range and surely one will work of the 3. thanks

a lot of public hot spots want you to sign in with a log on name and a password.
some of them I have to open a web browser and if it redirects me to a log in page then I am fucked.
set your wifi properties to a known dns, use google to find a list of them, use any but at&t cause they got the best one and I dont want to use thiers and slow me down LOL.
lots of dns servers. just set your nic or your wifi profile to use one instead of using the automatic one it gives you
