Maybe you could get your architecture pals to layout some nice cable-run plans & documentation etc.<BR/>karue - i agree on wireless being quick to setup etc ... but it runs into constraints pretty fast.<BR/><BR/>cheers ! good luck with projects/exams.Riyazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389181495240087231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59277811291772845.post-50299660968340488482007-05-25T19:10:00.000+03:002007-05-25T19:10:00.000+03:00Hi there...true the wires are many but at the mome...Hi there...true the wires are many but at the moment Mamlaka is a secure place n we have no worries bout it...Secondly people actually did the wiring themselves n as such twas a skeleton thing done in a hurry nevertheless thats somethin for the next guys to think bout if they r to keep the net alive...Some of us like me ave numbered weeks here...ALOYCEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12819587504357441233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59277811291772845.post-58990221525467405412007-05-25T19:06:00.000+03:002007-05-25T19:06:00.000+03:00Riyaz sup...We met at the Uon barcamp n at that ti...Riyaz sup...We met at the Uon barcamp n at that time I was still on the process of setting up the Mamlaka LAN...Success came too early n we got internet access days later.Its fully operational with over 80 guys having fast uplink speeds...wow!We are engineering students n tis fascinating how well we set it up in a few days...I am the moderator n we can talk more bout it...adios...ALOYCEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12819587504357441233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59277811291772845.post-61083742042825739172007-05-25T19:01:00.000+03:002007-05-25T19:01:00.000+03:00ave noted the cables in this LAN in mamlaka hostel...ave noted the cables in this LAN in mamlaka hostel are too many.they crisscross every where.so whats the best solution.considering there will be change of rooms come the next academic year.something like a wireless connection that will not discriminate anyone within the hostel.still to avoid the problem of being cut from connection when one switch goes off,<BR/><BR/>karue ellis.<BR/>u.o.n.<BR/>mamlakaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59277811291772845.post-66715889817715579952007-05-24T20:58:00.000+03:002007-05-24T20:58:00.000+03:00yeh - we've heard about the Medical school LAN - w...yeh - we've heard about the Medical school LAN - would be interested in talking to the ppl who set it up & manage it ...Riyazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389181495240087231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59277811291772845.post-68923499375095174962007-05-24T20:44:00.000+03:002007-05-24T20:44:00.000+03:00Interesting!! at the UoN medical school in Kenyatt...Interesting!! at the UoN medical school in Kenyatta there is a full fledged LAN where students share lecture notes and discuss for exams between each other during the nightAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14458014958998836398noreply@blogger.com
