From Marcos Ambrosio" Hi all, I am new to NoCat and have some problems with autentication with mysql. I have installed both authserv and gateway on the same machine but on different directories, /usr/local/nocat/authserv and /usr/local/nocat/gw. With Passwd itīs OK, but Dbi, I do not add user. When I try register user I receive : Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Message-ID: Hi - I've just discovered the NoCat site after Googling the NoCat Holly Ridge node, which I discovered with KisMac from the ridgetop where I live. Geographically I'm about halfway between Guerneville and Healdsburg. I'm blocked to the south from most of the NoCat nodes by Mount Jackson. From up here I can see central Windsor and the hills to the north, south and east of Windsor, and all the way to the ocean to the west. Topo Map: http://home.jps.net/~jduncanson/wifi/sweetwater_map.gif I've been looking for some means of bringing a reasonable form of access up to the ridge to replace or supplement my 28.8 dialup link. The three commercial providers I've contacted (AccessPort, CDS1 and Broadlink) haven't panned out. Using a standalone cantenna, as well as an old 12' satellite dish with the cantenna handheld roughly at the focal point, I've scanned a surprising number of 802.11b nodes. Here's a list of found nodes: Found nodes: http://home.jps.net/~jduncanson/wifi/nodes.html (Cantenna pix): http://home.jps.net/~jduncanson/wifi/cantenna.jpg Are any of these nodes recognizable (aside from the NoCat Holly Ridge node)? In particular, the "Telecommute" site comes in very strong. I suspect it's located on Mt. Jackson, about a mile south of me. I've seen reference to this site in the NoCat mailing list archives. Has it been identified yet? If possible, I'd like to contact the owner about possible access. So whom could I contact within the NoCat community to determine the chances of establishing a usable link to NoCat or any other network? My background is communications engineering (also a former ham) so I'm not an RF neophyte, but it's been a while so I'd need to brush up on my microwave chops. I know I'm a bit distant from the existing NoCat net map, but I've got altitude, some clear lines of sight, and antenna space. Any hope?

References: Message-ID: <001c01c371aa$479a7630$1e082a0a@notebook> Hi Jay - We've never identified who owns the "telecommute" ssid, but it is visible from large portions of the county, as is the ATGI essid. Several of us believe that both of those have amplifiers on them well of at least 1 watt, maybe more. Most of the other ssid's in your list appear to be home users or businesses. Given your location and elevation I would say it's going to be tricky to triangulate on any of them, but it is possible with a laptop, an antenna and a car, if you have lots of spare time. ;) Not sure how to read your table where it says "Max" but to NoCat-HollyRidge you show a number of 11. Is that 11db of signal? What kind of radio card are you using? There are a few of us with 24db dishes and 200mw radio cards that would be available to come out your way and see what kind of signal we could get.

The wireless card is a Netgate NL-2511CD PLUS EXT2, 200 mw with two external antenna jacks. I use it with a TiBook 667 (which has an internal airport card, not used in this instance).

Wonder who that is? Mt. Jackson, being the highest peak in the area, has coverage that can't be duplicated. It would definitely be a great 802.11 site for NoCat or other community access groups. I wonder if Sonoma County would be open to a pitch from NoCat to "donate" antenna space, on the basis of offering high speed internet access to rural users who couldn't otherwise obtain it. ________________________________ Jay Duncanson jduncanson@hotpop.com From twarfield at tnt-ok.com Wed Sep 3 21:41:56 2003 From: twarfield at tnt-ok.com (Tom Warfield) Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2003 15:41:56 -0500 Subject: [NoCatNet] Mt. Jackson/Seeking access from a ridgetop In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I suggest you throw in the pitch of something you can do for the county. Lets say they have an office on the other side of the Mt. or something. Well you could maybe set them up with a direct private and secure link from one office to another. Hence saving them money from their internet charges they are paying, also saving the added cost of having to pay for another telco line. Anyways, I have found in dealing with municipalities (not counties but hey) if you show them how they are saving money and how you are doing something for them (they give a rats ass about anyone who lives in the county- trust me!) then that just might work for your pitch. Another good way of getting into the door is knowing someone who is elected and helps run the county. Just some learning notes of what I have been working on, and what I have noticed when using something owned by city/county. But honestly though, I highly doubt the county owns that mountain. Call the county and find out who the land owner is. If the land owner already has something up on the hill, ie tower, then you are screwed because they will want tons of money to put anything up there. Good luck getting on the tower also, most tower companies charge an arm and a leg. Oh and by the way, wireless equipment works great using solar equipment. For notes on that you might want to checkout the SDSU wireless network they have setup. Just my 2 cents.

I wonder if Sonoma County would be open to a pitch from NoCat to "donate" antenna space, on the basis of offering high speed internet access to rural users who couldn't otherwise obtain it. ________________________________ Jay Duncanson jduncanson@hotpop.com _______________________________________________ NoCatNet mailing list NoCatNet@lists.nocat.net http://lists.nocat.net/mailman/listinfo/nocatnet From rjw at sonic.net Thu Sep 4 17:26:15 2003 From: rjw at sonic.net (Roger Weeks) Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 09:26:15 -0700 Subject: [NoCatNet] Primestar dish Message-ID: <000701c37301$452e9c70$1e082a0a@notebook> Last weekend I was helping clear out a friend's garage and making a dump run, and I snagged an old Primestar satellite dish.

Most use diversity on receive, but only transmit on one antenna. And even the APs and cards that do transmit on both (Cisco, for example) aren't designed for what you're thinking. It sort of works, but leads to nasty performance problems. Add another AP. They're certainly cheap enough. =) --Rob From ssiggins at sonic.net Fri Sep 5 23:35:47 2003 From: ssiggins at sonic.net (Sam Siggins) Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2003 15:35:47 -0700 Subject: [NoCatNet] Diversity on Linksys Type APs In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Actually it would be the same channel.

The internal antenna was the only one with Transmit power applied. The only way I know of to tell for sure is to put a power meter on each port. In the case of the 900AP, through software you could select one or the other or diversity, but it applied ONLY to receive (no documentation anywhere said this, and even their tech support didn't understand this - sent two perfectly good units back for repair before I figured out what was going on). I have an analog power meter (not the best to measuring this kind of thing, but it will give relative power levels between antenna ports) if you want to do some measuring.

Two versions, one for PC and one for handheld. Curt Free Utility Makes Wireless Connections a Snap Did you ever have trouble connecting to a wireless network that you just knew was there? Did you ever wonder exactly how strong your wireless signal was around the house? Or maybe you were looking for a good wireless client for Microsoft's Pocket PC. Well if you use 802.11, you absolutely MUST download a free utility we're offering starting today. Called WiNC, from Cirond, it does an even better job managing wireless connections than Windows XP's own manager. It's an easy to use version of Net Stumbler, and it'll allow you to easily find, connect and debug wireless links. But hurry and download it today, because it'll only be available for two weeks.

So it depends on what is important to you and which signals you might be able to see. Comcast is also working diligently in the area. My understanding is that Pogowave is capping the bandwidth they offer, depending on price. It is connected to a T1 whereas we have an enhanced DSL connection rated at max 6Mb and we see 4+Mb download, but it is adsl so the upload is around 300Kb, but we don't cap our bandwidth so your downloads are potentially higher. > -----Original Message----- > From: nocatnet-admin@lists.nocat.net > [mailto:nocatnet-admin@lists.nocat.net]On Behalf Of rimas > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 10:08 AM > To: nocatnet@lists.nocat.net > Subject: [NoCatNet] pogowave ? > > > greetings, > > i recently moved to the sebastopol area (kennedy road) and have been > exploring my high speed internet options (DSL and high speed cable don't > seem to be happening). > > i just got something in my mailbox from these folks: > > http://www.pogowave.com/ > > anyone have any experience dealing with them ? i am going to try and > schedule a free site survey and see what they say > > -rimas > > > _______________________________________________ > NoCatNet mailing list > NoCatNet@lists.nocat.net > http://lists.nocat.net/mailman/listinfo/nocatnet > From rjw at sonic.net Thu Sep 11 21:29:14 2003 From: rjw at sonic.net (Roger Weeks) Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2003 13:29:14 -0700 Subject: [NoCatNet] dead wrt54g Message-ID: <001f01c378a3$5e644da0$1e082a0a@notebook> Does anyone have any suggestions on how to recover a Linksys wrt54g?

The wrt54g is looking pretty promising but I don't think it's ready for production use yet. And it's really cheap - $120. But it isn't really modular, you can't swap out parts or anything like you can with a Via or Soekris. But you could take a wrt54g, run the linux tools and Rob's nocatsplash = on it, and hook up a couple of external cheap AP's or wireless bridges and probably make a decent repeater node. Then again, you can do the same thing with an Apple AirPort or Orinoco RG-1000/1100: see http://www.seattlewireless.net/?AirportLinux for = details.

One of his patient's father is the installer for Pogowave. They showed a laptop using a 180 deg sector antenna with USB output. (typ antenna install about $250) They downloaded video clips to demo the speed. Dr Oliver was sold. I asked a few questions while I had the chance. They have a T1 up on Burnside ridge at Bruce Donecker's antenna farm. I'm sure any RF person knows Bruce's place. A real dream spot. The T1 has a few days worth of backup power which is valuable in Seb, think they said propane generator. You can buy different levels of service. From the basic $39.95 for 128k/64k up to $59.95 for 384k/128k. They register your MAC address and I think they run encrypted. No free access. Not too bad if you can see the ridge. They will also allow others to act as APs but they were not pushing that. They were not willing to give a better rate if 10 signed up at once. They are not at break-even yet. So that is the what I can remember about pogowave. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now to change the subject: Comcast cable modems. This sounds more cost effective if you can wait. No doubt anyone who lives out in sw seb has seen the contruction going on with all the cablecom and rented bucket trucks. They are splitting the nodes to smaller sizes required for cable modem service. I suspect that this fall they will start selling the service. The various offers I have in my mail box in the past few months have taken a number of forms. $19.95 for 3 mon (one flyer said for 6 mon) then to regular fee of 24.95 for video cust and 56.95 for non video custs. Cable modems can run at different levels of service. They say 25xdial-up (1.5M) in downstrean and don't mention of course the slower rates in the upstream. New cable modem systems can run 64QAM upstream so can get much higher upstream rates if they configure it that way. For a few more bucks per month I'm sure they will accomodate those users.

I'm sure you all will be interested in this:
 
Dr Oliver gave me a call a day or two ago,  He said come over right away! 
 
One of his patient's father is the installer for Pogowave.  They showed a laptop using a 180 deg sector antenna with USB output. (typ antenna install about $250)  They downloaded video clips to demo the speed.  Dr Oliver was sold.
 
I asked a few questions while I had the chance.  They have a T1 up on Burnside ridge at Bruce Donecker's antenna farm.   I'm sure any RF person knows Bruce's place.  A real dream spot.
 
The T1 has a few days worth of backup power which is valuable in Seb, think they said propane generator.
 
You can buy different levels of service.  From the basic  $39.95 for 128k/64k up to $59.95 for 384k/128k.  They register your MAC address and I think they run encrypted.  No free access.
 
Not too bad if you can see the ridge.  They will also allow others to act as APs but they were not pushing that.  They were not willing to give a better rate if 10 signed up at once.  They are not at break-even yet.
 
So that is the what I can remember about pogowave. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now to change the subject:  Comcast cable modems.
 
This sounds more cost effective if you can wait.
 
No doubt anyone who lives out in sw seb has seen the contruction going on with all the cablecom and rented bucket trucks.  They are splitting the nodes to smaller sizes required for cable modem service.  I suspect that this fall they will start selling the service.  The various offers I have in my mail box in the past few months have taken a number of forms.  $19.95 for 3 mon (one flyer said for 6 mon) then to regular fee of 24.95 for video cust and 56.95 for non video custs.
 
Cable modems can run at different levels of service.  They say 25xdial-up (1.5M) in downstrean and don't mention of course the slower rates in the upstream.  New cable modem systems can run 64QAM upstream so can get much higher upstream rates if they configure it that way.  For a few more bucks per month I'm sure they will accomodate those users.
 
Motorola has a new unit (SBG1000) that acts as modem, router, firewall, wireless AP and print server.

Message-ID: <020f01c379c2$bc240780$2f01a8c0@cablenetva.com> Newbie here. Curious as to how many trees before it causes too much grief. I am looking to do a link to a neighbors house and would like to keep the antenna close to my house. The distance is around a 1000 feet. Was hoping to use a couple of cantennas or maybe just bi-quads. I was shying away from the dish setup due to size. I am totally new to all this and need to get a feel before sinking a lot of time or any money into it. It will only be for Internet so it's not critical to have high bandwidth. 1 meg would be plenty as long as it is reliable. I know it's hard to quantify how many, but during winter the line of site is fairly clear. On another front, looking for some plans for a good omni-directional and a higher powered AP. A future potential project is to setup wireless access for the police car in the small town where I live. Any suggested websites would be appreciated. DIY and low cost is the preferred methods.

It's 10:50pm, and I'm doing a tcpdump at Victrees while doing a couple of simultaneous apt-get updates on my box and at Victrees. Both of them are crawling. There is almost no traffic right now. Schuyler has an IRC session going, I see some email traffic and a bit of web traffic and that is it. Nothing to indicate any massive data transfers, or anything else out of the ordinary. FTP tests from my PC to Victrees give me between 1-2 megabits/second. FTP tests from my PC to Sonic give me 3.8kbps. Barely modem speed. If I had to guess, I would say that our DSL line is to blame. I hate to drag out this old saw, but we only have 384k of outbound bandwidth. Since I'm guessing that the majority of our traffic is TCP-based rather than UDP-based, that means that any incoming packet must be ACKed back to the source. That's how TCP works. We have enough usage/users here that in the evenings - prime time for Net usage, I'm not suprised that we might be tanking the DSL. Max, can we get Sonic/PacBell to do DSL testing on the line? It would be ideal if we could get them to test in the evening when the problem seems to occur. I'm going to get Cacti - a monitoring tool - up and running at Victrees, and when I do I'll publish the URL for it.

Message-ID: Gentlemen: Let me thank you all for allowing me to make my plea for bringing the Sebastopol K-8 community into the 21st. century. So, in the spirit of "what have you done for me lately" I'm looking for assistance and contributed wisdom in doing initial site and feasability surveys. To my uneducated eye, the link betwen Twin Hills Middle School and Apple Blossom Elementary looks to be the easiest. Also, the superintendant is on board and has given me carte blanche to crawl around roofs and such. I am available any time of day or night to make this happen.

Immediately back to normal speed. Update: lasted half an hour, then speed dropped back to less than dail-up. Rebooted. No difference. Screen would not even refresh, could not conduct speed test as is no connection speed. So, have switched to dial-up as NoCat is not functioning or functioning off-and-on with no rhyme or reason. IMHO Could keep rebooting but have to go to work.

Could he use wap11's ? or ???. the free-space path loss is 118.2dB for 5mi. that is to say that if you had antennas with 0dBi gain on each end and a transmitter power of 1mW you get a received signal of -118.2dB. but you're proposing two 24dBi antennas. so the path loss from antenna terminal to antenna terminal is 48dB less or -70.2dB. you need pigtails and connector which will eat up a couple of dB, so let's allow 6dB to cover both ends, so you would really see about -76dB loss at the radio terminals. if you use a transmitter power of 15dBm (30mW) then your received signal would be -60dBm. that should be plenty of signal for a nice full-speed link. it is reported that some of the boxes state something like +20dBm but that is based on equivalent including their 5dBi antenna supplied with the unit. the actual transmitter is still approx 30mW. here's a link that you may want to read down to the bottom before selecting wht WAP11: http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/LinksysWap11Comments -ron _______________________________________________ NoCatNet mailing list NoCatNet@lists.nocat.net http://lists.nocat.net/mailman/listinfo/nocatnet From jimtalks at sonic.net Wed Sep 17 14:28:38 2003 From: jimtalks at sonic.net (jimtalks@sonic.net) Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 06:28:38 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NoCatNet] GrandView connect speed.

Message-ID: I've got nocat running auth&gw on same machine. It's doing its job wonderfully. To make things more complicated: My box is configured with: two (2) old-fassioned (10/100baseT) ethernet interfaces: eth0 & eth1 one (1) prism2.5 based 802.11b PCI card: wlan0 Previous to my nocat install, I had routing setup in iptables so that eth0's connection to the internet was NATed to the two internal interfaces eth1 and wlan0. With nocat running, I get wireless internet access just fine. I don't, however, get propper routing to my wired network through eth1. This is of course due to the changes that nocat has made to my iptables. I'm wondering if anyone out there has had any luck setting up nocat&iptables to route both "wlan0 and eth1 traffic."

Just wanted to reply to a message posted about Pogowave Communications. Pogowave actually offers 384/128 for $39.95 a month and 512/256 for $59.95 a month. The speeds are dedicated to each customer using a bandwidth management unit to achieve a dependable quality of service to each user. It would be to expensive for a provider to actually dedicate a 3MB connection to a residential customer. Also, as well as the USB system Pogowave offers an ethernet based system that includes two static IP addresses, and will work with any computer or networking device that uses TCP/IP. Pogowave uses a point-to-multipoint wireless network that has a central network operations center housed in a temperature controlled equipment station with a 7 day backup power generator. Pogowave does not have anything against NoCat. In fact they sometimes refer customers that are not in their area or cannot connect to NoCat. Some of the things a potential wireless customer needs to take into consideration are: connection reliability, customer support and tech support, value added services, no hidden fees, and networking needs. So ask alot of questions, choose wisely, and don't be fooled by hype. Happy surfing!

The incumbent setup is Via-based with two Senao cards next to each other front to back. Speeds at the Via at my place seldom exceeded 1.3mbps and only occasionally 1.8. Never over 2mbps. The swap involved installing a hub, connecting the WAP11 to it and the sector ant, and yanking the Senao card. Roger did the software changes. The AP is sitting about 1.5 feet from the Via, pending later installation in a waterproof box and a longer lead to the antenna. Speed tests, using 10.42.2.1's 10meg FTP file and measured at my desktop range from 3.5 to 4.55 mbps over 8 runs at 2pm. So, we now have 3 cases where moving the AP side of the node away from the other radio card(s) out I/O speed ratios. And I'm thrilled BTW! In using the WAP11 in AP mode I found little of the problems reported recently in a forum. In fact I found their Tech Support, both Telephone and Email to be quite excellent especially for a $63 unit. But the items I needed tech support for should have been in their documentation. Why did I need tech support? - Chapter 6 of the User Manual states I can connect the unit directly to my computer's NIC and view their HTML-based setup using a browser. But the connection needs to be a crossover cable. Also, you need to change your TCP/IP settings to a fixed address that's in range of their default 192.168.1.251. Otherwise the setup is pretty straightforward. - You can view that interface through a hub as well and still need to change IP address. You'll also need to turn off any use of proxy servers for both this and the above case. - Unless you need to add filters or change durations and antenna settings you can make all the other changes using the Setup CD directly. - On the HTML interface, if installing the WAP11 using an external antenna, you'll need to go to their wireless setup screen (not found on the CD setup) and change the antenna setting. Default is diversity. The transmit side is connected to the right antenna. Set the antenna setting to right. As you look at the front of the unit the right antenna is on the leftmost connector. Yes, yes. tech support will tell you its the right connector. Its not. I'd use WAP11 again, especially at under $70.

In-Reply-To: <20030922183656.25590.83536.Mailman@mouse> Message-ID: <2D08A768-ED46-11D7-8F05-000A957C8B32@cse.ogi.edu> Greetings to the nocat users out there, I was setting up my first gateway on an OpenBSD 3.3 system, and ran across some problems with the pf scripting that occurs during the start up of the nocat gateway. The initial release of the nocat OpenBSD portability seems to have used only the OpenBSD 3.0 pf, which has changed significantly in the last 18 months. It only took two quick patches to get the gateway to start up cleanly. Since 3.1 the pf that ships with OpenBSD uses pf.conf for all configuration. /etc/nat.conf no longer is used on most systems. This causes a problem when the reset.fw script is run: bash-2.05b# diff /usr/local/nocat/bin/reset.fw ./reset.fw 9c9 < pfctl -N /etc/nat.conf --- > pfctl -N /etc/pf.conf The initialize.fw script needed a cluster of updates. The pfctl command needed to be told that the trailing '-' is the input file, by using the -f switch. The syntax for the icmp protocol seems to have been tightened up a bit. The keyword 'inet' needed to be added to the pf rule. Once these two types of updates happened, the script ran just fine. bash-2.05b# diff /usr/local/nocat/bin/initialize.fw ./initialize.fw 32c34 < print "$NAT" | pfctl -N - --- > print "$NAT" | pfctl -N -f- 125,126c127,130 < PF="${PF}\n pass in quick on $InternalDevice proto icmp from any to $InternalDevice/32\n"; < PF="${PF}\n pass in quick on $InternalDevice proto icmp from any to $ExternalDevice/32\n"; --- > PF="${PF}\n pass in quick on $InternalDevice inet proto icmp from any to $InternalDevice/32\n"; > PF="${PF}\n pass in quick on $InternalDevice inet proto icmp from any to $ExternalDevice/32\n"; --- 128c132 < print "$PF" | pfctl -R - --- > print "$PF" | pfctl -R -f- From jimtalks at sonic.net Tue Sep 23 23:20:51 2003 From: jimtalks at sonic.net (jimtalks@sonic.net) Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 15:20:51 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NoCatNet] Attn.: Rich -->> ok to replace long power cord with shorter one???
