Speaking of DSL poblems..

Our line went down last night, and still hasn't come back up.

Not a modem problem, though, but rather something physically wrong somewhere in the outside cables.

So, as of an hour ago, I've set up my pair of el-cheapo wireless routers in WDS mode, to relay ethernet across the street to a neighbour's DSL modem.

My server then establishes its own independent PPPoE connection, static IP and all, through the same modem the neighbour is using (with his own, different, login credentials).

Luckily, the Thompson modem supports multiple simultaneous PPPoE connections.

I think it's kinda cool, actually.


Cheers
