Is it possible to create a free website and install the stuff onto that?, that way i assume i dnt need to have my pc running 24/7?

Please correct me if 'm wrong!

You can have your radius server local or on the web. I am not sure if anybody 'hosts' a radius server, but I am pretty sure you'll get. Sometimes my explanations doesn't make sence, so I copied this:

"Remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) is an AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) protocol for applications such as network access or IP mobility. It is intended to work in both local and roaming situations."

How many users will you have? I run it on one machine (yes, it's always on) with free-radius and a MySql database (the database contains the user accounts for the radius server) on the same machine.
There is also 'n version that can run on a Linksys WRT54G WiFi Router, but you still need the radius server for authentication.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more information!
 
Im not running a wireless lan so could it be possible to buy a 3com switch and manage the bandwidth that way?
 
not sure chuky im a bit of a noob myself!

wab,

I found an old pc!!! Hooray!

Ill have about 5 - 10 user. Does the radius server run on LINUX because i think my old pc is too "old" for XP?

So i now need to download a free radius server? ( from where? )
And get a MySql database? , Right??

Explain more about the Linksys WRT54G WiFi Router coz i currently have , does this mean that i dnt need a Mysql data base ?

Yes, Free-Radius runs on Linux! It's actually bundled with most distributions, otherwise you can download it from http://www.freeradius.org/

If you want to be able to check how much bandwidth each user uses, you will need the MySql database. If not, you can still do the rest with 'flat-files' (think that's what they call it).

I have not used chillispot on WRT54G personally! Haven't had time to try it, but quite a few people use it that way (as you will see on their forum). Basically, chillispot will run on the WRT54G, but it still needs to connect to a radius server and/or MySql Database. I think it will be a little easier to manage on the WRT54G, but still need to try.

Btw, you don't need a massive PC to run Radius and MySql for 5-10 users, so your old PC should work :-)

Hope this helps?
 
Im going to trying to organise Mysql and linux ill get back 2 you wen i've installed both

Shot
 
Ok, sounds good! Just PM me if I don't reply! This forum is so busy that I loose track of most of the threads :-)
 
Hey wab,

Do an advanced search on your name... It'll only show the threads that you've posted on.. It works wonders coz i post all ova the place!!
 
Ahh look, for it is Chucky1 the retard, so i'm not going to even explain how to do it from beginning to end with 100% success.

What connections
Which OS to use
Network setup
etc, etc.

Thats what you get when you try to sabotage me :P Your loss.
 
Jeeva you and your langame are the laughing stock of LAN conversations all over. Please don't try and bring your "experience" to the table, cause I'd be waiting till I'm old and grey.
