The problem stems (I hope) from people not knowing that they have their PC in Ad-Hoc mode when they specify that they want to connect to network "ietf64". So the answer should be that "ad hoc mode with SSID = ietf<XX>". However, people wanting to have a private ad hoc network ought to look at the frequencies being used by local base-stations so that their signals do not interfere with people using the "infrastructure" mode. -- Eric --> -----Original Message----- --> From: ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx [mailto:ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx] --> On Behalf Of Spencer Dawkins --> Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 5:13 PM --> To: ietf@xxxxxxxx --> Subject: Re: Please make sure that you do not run your WLAN --> in ad hoc mode --> --> Just to be clear - is the problem "ad hoc mode" or "ad hoc --> mode with SSID ietf"? --> --> The last time we were in Minneapolis, Dean Willis noticed --> that the wireless projector controls in the conference --> rooms used 802.11b ad hoc ... in an increasingly IP-deviced --> world, if the problem is "ad hoc mode", we are going to die --> at an increasing rate over time. --> --> Spencer --> --> --> _______________________________________________ --> Ietf mailing list --> Ietf@xxxxxxxx --> https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf --> _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
