Pretoria WUG

[antowan]

I wanna hook up with others in Centurion.

Contact me please. I know of the PWP / Pretoria Wireless Project. There is a node a couple of blocks away from me. I WANT IN! I have mentioned it 2 years ago but never got around to it. Now I am!

BTW PWP website is www.pwp.za.net

We are constantly looking for memebers that are prepared to spend money to get the network going.

The site is not much of a help

Pretoria Wireless Project has a problem

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (localhost))

 

[th0rn]

Sorry about that.

The only person with admin to the website is on holiday at the moment.

 

[th0rn]

www.pwp.za.net is back up.

 

[PeekNPoke]

I'm in Centurion and currently have 3 hops over 6km installed. I'm extending these links. Anybody interested PM me.

 

[PeekNPoke]

Btw. Th0rn, are you the same person that enrolled on my dormant WiFi forum?

 

[th0rn]

Probably, im not sure which forums you are talking about.

 

[antowan]

Getting on soon! Thanks to PWP for all the help! Equipment is close to complete. Installation ETA next weekend. YEAH! http://antowan.com/pictures/thumbnails.php?album=16

Got the router and casing. Now I need to get the antenna up and all that.

Maybe try the guys here

Well I am live on PWP and it rocks! Will put my FTP server live this coming week. It has been installed and all that, but will be away this weekend, so cannot plug it in yet. Don't have time.

The pending link with JAWUG is going to be brilliant!

As a taster ... here are the link speeds for Jawug from East rand to the West Rand (about 4 hops) and about 40KM worth of distance

Eish!

Sitting at my Gfriend's house in Lynnwood. Picking up Pretoria Mesh, but don't know how to connect. I cannot believe I neglected to sharpen my wireless skills over the last few years. I have this big gaping hole in my computing knowledge. Have to fix this immediately.

BTW, PWP is brilliant. My connection in Centurion is fantastic. Thanks to the peeps from PWP for helping me out. Especially Th0rn and CodeWarrior.

For the sake of uptake of this fantastic tech, I hope the PWP and JAWUG link is done ASAP!

Communication?

Just a quick question: how does everyone on the pwp communicate with each other to set up lan games, let ppl know about the ftp servers, etc?

IRC, Google talk, MSN, win popup, ICQ, etc?

 

[Ryder_JHB]

I can't speak for pwp, but we use IRC mainly.

Like Ryder said. PWP uses internal IRC and also Skype... Mostly IRC. If you are on the network, you can scan the network with a subnet scanner available online to see what services are available at any given time.
