It seems pretty warm to me, and I'm walking down 6 blocks to the
cheaper hotel.

The real problem has been DHCP (again).

use ipv6 ;-)))

Marc.

 Cannot get an address on
wireless at all (checked every day).  Takes several tries (up to 20
minutes) to get an address on wired network.

Also, my Farallon card on my Mac has had a tough time even seeing
some of the AP-1000s.  I've placed the laptop within 3 feet, and
detected no wireless.  In other rooms, I've seen 2 or 3 APs.

None of the Mac folks I've talked to have had any success with the
wireless DHCP.  We have to hand configure.

Question: did somebody use M$ NT DHCP again?  We know it doesn't work
reliably.
