[PLUG] internet access at the next plug meeting

[Darxus@chaosreigns.com]

Bring your laptop, lots of ethernet cable, and maybe a switch/hub.  
Set your laptop up to use DHCP to get an IP:

No problem - Bring as many gizmoes as possible!

In know that in RH 101 there is at least one internet hook-up. If you 
guys bring a couple of hubs, CAT-5 patches (I can provide/make some), 
and laptops, I'm pretty sure that we can get everyone hooked-up. The 
USP network works with DHCP, so there's no problem with IP addresses 
(actually, I have all my machines working with static IP's to use NSF 
easily, but DHCP is easier if you are roaming around with a 
laptop...).

Additionally, the room next door, RH 102, which will be available 
during the summer (I would have to check for the rest of the 
meetings), has data hook-ups on every seat (!). I never used them, 
but I could try them out with our laptop on Monday, and I'll let you 
know if they work properly.

Have a good weekend,

Guillermo
