Quote from CSU1 :Tripple post of failure

I just don't understand the mechanics of this, I need help


isp------wireless router(192.168.1.1)------PFsense box(192.168.1.1)------PC(192.168.1.199)



Well for starters your pfsense box can't have the same IP as your wireless router.

No everything needs to be on the same network (ie 192.168.1.x) with the same subnet mask or else the boxes wont communicate with each other.
Try the following:

I'm assuming that your wireless is working as a DHCP server?
If so keep the ip of the router as is, set an ip pool for your DHCP server on the wireless to run from say 192.168.1.32 to 192.168.1.255. with a reservation of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.31 for fixed ip addresses.

Then on the pfsense box, set a fixed ip address on the NIC picking up the wireless (usb wireless adaptor?) to 192.168.1.2 and then set a fixed ip address on the NIC physically connected to your pc to 192.168.1.3

Set the firewall to allow DHCP and DNS services through in both directions.

Set your pc to dynamic ip address from DHCP.

Make sure all your interfaces have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Then you should be able to "see" the wireless AP from the pfsense box and it should just be a case of setting up the firewall to allow whatever services you need the PC to have use of over the internet.

Hope that's of some help.

Well I think one thing we are almost guaranteed of is more great racing.

I have to say on the basis of the first two races, if things carry on like this the reg changes will have made for a huge improvement in the entertainment factor.

Even if it has meant that some people aren't seeing their favourite drivers/teams at the front.

Quote from pacesetter :Nice racing yesterday, Plato drive very well IMO kinda like Giovanardi's slide through Paddock Hill when he got tapped by Jonathan Adam...

Video Comparisons:


Giovanardi Slide : (Slide is from 20 seconds onwards.)

Plato Slide : (From 15 seconds onwards)

There was a pretty good slide save in one of the Carrera races too.. I can't find a clip of it though.

Quote from Senninha25 :yeah, uh...I'm not brazilian, I'm Portuguese. There are differences between Brazilian Portuguese and the European Portuguese. Even the brazilians (ask Velociround, de Souza and other brazilian members here) know that "Meu Deus(OMG)" is for astonishment (and sometimes a gay term) and "God damn it (Raios, porra, f***-se)" is for frustration.

Also, as quoted, you actually managed to swear without even noticing it.

Oh I know. One of my favourite Portuguese phrases !

By the way, I'm aware of the difference in the Language across the Atlantic. I'm married to a Brasilian and got a Portuguese father .

Well it would seem my prediction about BrawnGP and McLarens performance in the wet was pretty much accurate. Brawns seemed to cope well and the McLaren was even worse than it was in the dry.

Amazing race though, what a call by Glock to take a risk on Inters. What a screw up by Ferrari putting Kimmi on full wets. Hamilton desperately trying to keep Webber behind him in vain, (If you wanted proof of the advantage of KERS cars over faster lapping but non-KERS cars you just had it).

Great race, such a shame it was so short.

Edited to add - Is it just me or do the Brawns have issues with launching? First Barrichello at race start in Australia, then a suspicion of a problem with Button in Malaysia? plus Barrichello seemingly having problems pulling away from a pit stop. All very odd.

Also, I don't believe we've seen Ferraris true race pace yet. Kimmi was pretty competitive until the stupid tyre choice error.

Quote from Intrepid :Gezmoor have you ever done racing for real? If you had you would know this kind of thng happens quite a lot and excluding drivers for a season for something that wasn't really cheating but a team trying to regain a position that was rightfully there's anyway would be way too harsh.

DSQ from the race is probably the most suitable conclusion. Would you agree that Schumi in Monaco should have been excluded from the season in 2006 after parking it in quali. The stewards thought it was delivebate so isn't this MISLEADING them and thus worthy of exclusion?

Should Rubens be excluded from ramming Kimi out of position of nearly causing a puncture.

I've known people to do A LOT worse and certain drivers you all admire have pasts that can easily be brought into question as well so lets get some perspective!

Yes Macca f^%ked up but some perspective is needed

So what would it require exactly before you felt that a driver/team should be excluded from a season? just what kind of behaviour would warrant such a punishment in your opinion, if not attempting to cheat by attempting to gain a place by causing someone to be unfairly penalised??

I'm not arguing whether the FIA's assesment of what Hamiltons/McLarens motives were is correct, but the above is essentially the conclusion they have reached. Leaving asside for a moment the debate as to whether this conclusion is justifiable or not, would you not agree that such actions should warrant a severe penalty?

You seem to be of the opionion that "anything goes" in motorsport, on the basis that it's a competitive (real mans) sport. Where exactly would you draw the line exactly? or don't you hold to the principle of sportsmanship and fairplay at all??

Quote from CSU1 :
Question is, what free Windows servers are available?

You didn't seriously use the words Windows and Free in the same sentence did you??

Seriously though, there are no free versions of Windows OS, that I am aware of anyway, (not that means all that much granted).

From what I can tell, the vast majority of people that want to use old PC hardware as a firewall use one of the many Linux variants, usually one without a GUI AFAIK, as you'd want all your processing power to be going to the firewall app rather than painting a pretty picture on the screen. Sorry, I can't be any more helpful than that though.

Quote from evilpimp :... A DSQ plus possibly getting excluded from the season is a bit much.

You think? Look at it from the perspective of the bubble that is F1. What would you say in the context of a sport alone is the most important thing ??

Most sports consider cheating to be extremely significant. Very few sports treat cheating lightly. Lying (explicitly as Hamilton did, far as the FIA is concerned) to gain an extra place in a sporting event isn't tantamount to cheating, in most sporting bodies books it IS cheating. What happens to sprinters if they're caught cheating?? do they get a rap on the knuckles and their medal taken away? No, they very often get a ban, usually of at least one season, sometimes a lifetime one. So in the context of sport in general I would say Hamilton will be pretty lucky if he's allowed to race for the rest of the season. He could justifiably have been so much more severely punished for what he has been found culpable of.

Listen to the transcripts people, and look at the behaviour of both Hamilton and Truli on the track.

Hamilton slows very obviously, Truli may well have passed in error or thought that hamilton had a problem so passed, who knows. Either way, Truli then practically stops in front of Hamilton, (you hear Hamilton say so in the radio communication), presumably because he's unsure as to whether he should have passed Hamilton. Hamilton even queries the team over the action, but is told to hold his position:

"
Team: Lewis, you need to allow the Toyota through. Allow the Toyota through now.
LH: OK.
LH: He's slowed right down in front of me.
Team: OK, Lewis. Stay ahead for the time being. Stay ahead. We will get back to you. We are talking to Charlie.
LH: I let him past already.
Team: OK, Lewis. That's fine. That's fine. Hold position. Hold position. "

Quote from DevilDare :Hmmm, interesting. So Hamilton was made to lie (follow team orders) or get grief from them afterwards.

That's what they want you to believe anyway.

Remember people, this is a damage limitation exersize and has been since they got caught out.

Think about it, two people were being accused of misleading the stewards. What is the best McLaren can hope to get out of the mess?, or rather what is the least amount of damage they can incurr?? Who do you think is worth more to McLaren??? Hamilton or his team manager?? 30 years service or not, if it comes down to loosing just an "employee" or their No.1 driver + all the sponsership he brings and potentially even their engine manufacturer too who do you really believe McLaren would be asking to "take the blame"? Because trust me when I tell you someone has to take the blame otherwise McLaren are likely to be on the receiving end of even further sanctions from the FIA. They have already made statements to that possibility.

So you choose. Pay off a long term employee with a cheque big enough to see him comfortable for a long time or your No1 driver and loose millions in the process. Remember, McLaren is a business. At the end of the day, the bottom line is all that matters.

Quote from J.B. :Calling him a scapegoat would mean that he is being singled out alone when in fact a larger group of people had conspired to cheat by lying to the stewards. There is no proof or indication of this. Haug himself said that Lewis had been instructed to let Trulli pass in the post race interviews.

The only question left is who's idea it was, Hamilton's or Ryan's. Doubt we'll ever find out though.

I was refering to him being McLarens scapegoat internally. It's clear that someone has to "pay" for this latest indiscression within the McLaren camp. He was probably the easiest option, and close enough to the centre of the whole controversy to appease the FIA and hopefully stay any further penalisation. Common practice in organisations that come under scrutiny from bodies that have the power to punish them. I don't see why motorsport should be any different.

Can we try and keep this thread about the upcoming malaysian GP by any chance? there's more than enough debate going on about the Hamilton/McLaren stuff in the Austrailian GP thread. We don't need two threads on the subject.


Looks like I could be right about Ferrari being a contender:

Wouldn't surprise me if Hamilton was under 'team orders' when he went into the meeting with Dave Ryan. Why risk the reputation of your Current World Champion driver in this way? Daft.

Well they have to have their scapegoat to have any chance of bringing back some of the lost credibility. No surprise really.

this is the thing with virgin, download is ok(great sometimes), upload is awful


The upload is what it is. It's down to the technical limitations of the Cable network. You are never going to get high upload speeds on a cable network. Just like with ADSL, the download/upload speeds will always be heavily asymetric. Just something you're going to have to accept basically.

Quote from BlueFlame :Hamilton is the innocent party in all of this. ......

Not so. If what the FIA are saying is the truth then he explicitly lied to them after the race about whether he let Trulli passed. He said he hadn't, which meant that Trulli broke the rules and would get penalised. I refuse to believe that he didn't know the consequences of his lie, which makes him guilty of exactly what the FIA have penalised him for ie unsporting behaviour.

Even if that scenario didn't happen, he is still culpable through ommission. Clearly it's not standard procedure to go through radio communications, otherwise the stewards would have done so, and McLaren would have mentioned it so as not to be seen to be doing exactly what they did do. So because they didn't raise it with the stewards it's clear McLaren were banking on them not reviewing the radio commuincations and discovering the instruction to their driver. Hamilton, if he was honest should have come forward himself and made the stewards aware of the radio instruction, but he didn't either, so he lied through ommission in order to gain points. Same conclusion - unsporting behaviour.
