[TriLUG] No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

[Warren Weber]

I may have opened my mouth and volunteered myself to help someone network a 
barn currently under construction.  Ideally, they would like wireless but wired would 
be acceptable.  The idea is to have internet access for the kids at the barn 
before/after lessons since the barn is a bit remote (a fair piece outside of 
Creedmoor).  The owners would also like to have an as yet undetermined number of 
cameras they can use watch the facility (who's riding in the indoor ring, what's going 
on in the barns, etc.).

The down sides I see (so far) are barn construction (mostly metal), non-standard 
provider (DirecWay), and distance from the internet connection (a couple of hundred 
yards from the barn).

Obviously, any firewalling/routing/filesharing will be done on a Linux box.  :-)

Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Ideas?

Thanks!
Warren
