If I have problems with it I'll then be able to post "I tried this iptables command but ..." or look in /var/log and see what's going on. You may find it works just fine with the default firmware& Buffalo's fancy GUI, but the great thing about Linux is that you can fix it yourself! |

That may be plan b. My car started acting up the other day and I may |
| 27 |
have to get yet another distributor for it. I replaced it a couple |
| 28 |
years ago. They seem to have a batch of sensors that have a short life |
| 29 |
span. Anyway, that may have to be put off to later if I need to buy |
| 30 |
something for my car. |

It looks like they are wireless. I didn't see a wired one. I use wired |
| 33 |
because I live just a few miles from a Air Force Base. They fly right |
| 34 |
over the house. They even knock out my satellite signal sometimes. I |
| 35 |
was told that having things wired should be fine but wireless could be |
| 36 |
fun to deal with. They fly close enough to me that I can see a helmet |
| 37 |
in the plane. They even wave at times. lol |

Then again, we did try to do this through my old Linux puter. I |
| 40 |
couldn't get that to work either. When it comes to networking, I'm a |
| 41 |
idiot. I know how to hook it up but that's about it. It would be neat |
| 42 |
to learn tho. |
