You can always offer free p2p wireless to your neighbors. They’ll appreciate it.
STINGY LEMM LOCKS DOWN HIS GUEST WIRELESS
So anyone know any really cool things you can do with a home network / wireless router.. I haz it now and I feel like I want to do MOAR.. although I don’t know what more I can do.

It shouldn’t be a problem. So long as you can get an IP, your router will get one too.
Now playing games and other things that require open ports and an unshared connection (IE not slow) are probably going to be a problem. I had trouble with my last appt’s “included internet” and had to get my own cable connection. You might consider getting Roadrunner, they should have 1 year intro rates that’ll blow your mind.
It seemed alright playing last night. I had everything setup really fast.. they have two ways to control the router.. 1 being the web interface (more advanced) on the network and the second being a control program used for initial setup (extremely easy). I was able to setup the network password as well as setup a guest wifi. (Only thing is if you start using the web interface you can’t really use the really easy setup software anymore because they don’t play well together).
I have the router sitting pretty much right next to the PS3 (which is on the network) and I didn’t really notice a difference.. On my laptop I was getting 27 Mbps down with a ping of 33 on speedtest.net (I have Time Warner Cable). I don’t know if it will continue to work this well, but I am happy with it so far.
Also, I think my apartment locks the router connected to the cable modem away in the closet with my water heater.. is that going to be a problem?
I mean.. I don’t think it would because I have ports throughout the apartment.. well really just 3 .. 1 in the bedroom and 2 in the living room.
I probably have no use for DD-WRT but I may put it on there at a later time..
It looks like the E3000 build is not fully developed though, but I might have misread.
I ordered the E3000… it should be here tomorrow. Hopefully, Kip hasn’t lead me astray.
I’ve also read that you can replace the firmware with dd-wrt. I’ve heard good things about this, but I don’t know that they have covered all the features in this router.. and honestly I don’t know enough to understand any of the advantages. I just remember someone giving a presentation on it in the Clemson Linux Users Group.
Anyone done this before?
I’m moved in .. with my fouton.. and tv. Yay..
need moar furniture.. ikea having sale.. me buy and build ..
ok if anyone wants to add me my id is lemm813
I just started playing multiplayer.. I’m a level 20..
I wanted to max out the prestige.. but doing it 15 times at 50 levels a piece is a bit excessive..
Well when I was running it, after a round or so I tried to split up people by skill level.. Most of the people in there played on the CSS server and I was always on so it was a bit easier.. I would have someone like lawlrence help me so I wouldn’t be so biased.
If you have weekly sessions, I’m sure you could incorporate this into your planning.
Oh cool… I looked at Tyvola apartments when I was trying to choose. Right next to the department of homeland security.
MOVING TO NC!!!
Went up on Saturday and found an apartment.. it will be off of South Tryon in Ayrsely.

Yeah, it’s a good idea on paper, but like communism, it doesn’t work very well.
I wish we could have done that with CS:S.
You know maybe if you get people to form teams at your meetings and such and get them playing together then you may be able to have that.. have to have dedicated people though..
Yeah, it actually takes a lot to configure source servers well. Both Liam and I have spent a lot of time writing WCU Specific plug-ins that you won’t find anywhere else. The real problem with the CS:S server is that almost all the regulars started playing newer games and we weren’t getting any new people to join the server.
It’d be nice if it was actually mentioned that we had a CS:S server at the meetings.. or hell even a STUDENT CL. I’ve been saying I’d rather have that for a long time.. there needs to be someone with a vested interest in the server that actually goes to WCU. I personally put a lot of my time and effort into that server and so has Master P and Liam and a number of other people over the years. We all have lives now.. we don’t have time to fix your server and deal with your whining, *edited*ing, and fear that we will somehow have control over the WCU Gaming Club. A game server NEEDS a lot of work put into it.. not just in th configuration, but in the promoting and populating. You can’t just install it and turn it on (Unless it’s L4D – they use random servers).
I’ve the server at it’s peak and now at it’s lowest point. I’ve seen stat *edited*s (and been one) and people who play because there was an awesome community of regulars.
The truth is.. if you were never a regular of the CS:S Server you could not possibly understand how great it was or how great of a community it had. I would say the CS:S and CS servers are solely responsible for a large percentage of members to these forums.. which brings attention to WCU (LIKE THE CLUB WAS INTENDED TO DO). Now, I challenge you to name one thing that has been done since that has even come close to achieving that. You can’t say that about the LANs.. because you don’t encourage ANY people outside the club to come.

You get the same prize as when you get all the achievements/trophies on a PC or XBOX360 game.
Absolutely nothing
I don’t like your style, sir.
lol well I looked it up on wikipedia and it says you get psn experience points or something stupid.. I guess it’s something that shows up on your profile or whatever.
I take it no one has beaten the single player yet?
Anyway I have a question being a playstation 3 noob… but do you get anything if you complete all the trophies and get the platinum one or whatever? Seems like you should but I have no idea what that would be.
I like collecting stuff.. but I’ll have to bypass the 28 point hat… I guess they are right in calling it the rich man’s hat..
Still pretty *edited*ty on their part. Have to spend over 200 bones just to get it.. plus the time it takes to complete the achievements.
I haz a question but it’s about the end of the game and I don’t want to give it away so I will include the spoiler tag..
At the end of the game it shows a picture with Mason in the crowd when Kennedy gets off the airplane.. Is the game saying that you’re are still brainwashed and that you killed Kennedy on the grassy knoll?
lol yeah I guess it would
btw just finished the single player last night.. now I guess I have to go back and get all the trophies.. plus I only finished on regular.. trophy status is only at 27% wtf..
I haven’t tried playing it on a harder difficulty.. although I found it easy at times .. some times I found it really frustrating but I think that is just because I wasn’t sure what to do. I’m still a console noob and still getting used to the PS3 controller. I never had a playstation before..
