As far as I've been here, there never seems to have been any definitive aim for this group. I think if there was a specific aim, we would all have the same direction of focus, driving us to actually do something rather than talk about a very general wireless idea.
<br>I know there was a meeting arranged with only 1 person (i think) that showed up, but again, nobody knew exactly what this group was trying to offer.<br><br>So why don't we all think about what we actually want to achieve, and how to go about it. Providing wireless service to the Manchester area, which will....
<br><br>Once we have clear goals and milestones, we can then think about meetings.<br><br>Darren<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 29/07/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Baker, George</b> <<a href="mailto:George.Baker@oldham.ac.uk">

<br>>Subject: Re: [manchesterwireless] Anyone still active?<br>><br>>Hi Andy, I'm still around, not sure who else is though :)<br>><br>>The least hassle way of doing a failover would probably be build a
<br>>list of "heart-beat" ip addresses on the internet, and have the main<br>>router do a loop of ping tests.<br>><br>>if the pings failed for 30 minutes, then it could execute a script to<br>>redo your network settings to point to the other adsl router and
<br>>re-run the test. if that also failed, at that point you'd probably<br>>want to fail back to the original settings, so you didn't have a<br>>messed up router sat there dead in the water...<br>><br>
