what good is the internet if i can't have wifi in bed?
Grrr. Efforts to set up wireless on top of my apartment building's network are failing, now that I've dropped $30 and had an Interesting Day in pursuit of a power brick for my AP. (ok, I sought lots of things, and attained all of them, but Interesting's the word for it.) Am tired of being tethered to this desk now.
It's a Linksys WRT54GL wireless AP. Am I missing some critical detail in configuring it? Connecting directly to the modem, I get an IP via DHCP, but setting the router to get its IP address by DHCP seems to be the bit that's not working. Alternately, is my building's sysadmin trying to prevent just this sort of shenanigan? Halp!
