Re: Basic usage: What do I do next to get this to work?

This is my goal:

Wireless users and desktop computers on the same subnet (IPCop Blue, for those keeping score at home) will need to log in with a user name and password, which are kept on the MySQL server.

Hm, don't know much about IPCop but I would have some doubts about it authenticating wired users on a local network. My guess is that DHCP will just hand them an IP address and they will connect without authentication. Since you want wired clients on the same subnet as wireless ones think about using a captive portal like Chillispot. You are on the right track with wireless. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
