I'd suggest getting a cheep wireless router to carry with you. Setup doesn't have to be a hassle - most of the time, the base station is getting the IP address via DHCP, so you can keep that config loaded on the base station. With the Apple AirPort base station, their admin software lets you save a config as a file on your machine, so switching between configs is as easy as loading a file in for the config, and rebooting the base station. The product isn't too big, and you can get a retractable ethernet cord so it can plug into any network. The base station automatically detects if you're needing to have a regular or crossover connection to the network (Auto-MDI/MDIX I believe). There are other base stations cheeper of course, but the space, ease of use, and functionality sometimes are not always there. cheers! -- Ted Rattei tedr at rattei.org 612-201-2393 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
