Wireless Lust and Disappointment

Providence College, our gracious host, has not made it round to providing wireless access on the 4th floor of the Feinstein building. Of course, your program committee wasn't going to let this stop us. The committee, speakers and other wireless experts have spent the last fifteen minutes frantically trying to cobble together wireless access via computer-to-computer networks. Unfortunately the attempt was a complete failure.

The College, as a substitute for wireless acess, has provided a lovely wired hub for anyone willing to string a cable all the way to their seat. This hub gives out it's own local ip addresses, but we can't get it to give us addresses for our computer-to-computer airport networks.
