Stop Credit Card Solicitations

23 02 2005

I read on the Wall Street Journal that you can stop credit card solicitations by signing up at the Consumer Data Industry Association. At the website you can out-in (Why would you do this?), opt-out for 5 years or opt-out permanently. Sounds like a good way to reduce junk mail.



Wireless Bridging - Belkin 7230-4

20 02 2005

I successfully bridged two Belkin 7230-4 54G Wireless routers. Here’s what I did.

1) I connected the first router (A) to my computer and changed the LAN IP to 192.168.2.2 and turned DHCP off.
2) I went to the wireless bridge menu and entered the WLAN MAC address of the second router (B).
3) I then disconnected router (A) and connected router (B) to my computer and entered the WLAN MAC address of router (A).
4) I pinged 192.168.2.2 and it worked. Success!
5) I turned on WEP 128 bit on both routers and pinged 192.168.2.2 for verification. Success!
