- Free access wireless?
- Posted by Ian Stirling on September 15th, 2003
Is it possible to have a 802.11* network with a public and a private
part?
The public part would have some webpages and stuff that anyone can access,
and the private part access to the internet.
Can anyone point me at a newsgroup?

Potentially, yes.
I'd be vastly more interested in some protocol to negotiate for access
to a server (over the net via a private pipe) and work out cost with
the wireless node you are in seamlessly.

can you expand a bit eg would the private/public differentiation be by
the individual ip address, is this to be a small network with a single
wireless access point or something more complex.

I was more thinking anyone with the key got access to the private bit,
and anyone else the public bit.
I'm unsure about wireless, so was wondering if there was a better group/FAQ
to ask.

that could be handled by the servers on the network eg you have to log
in to get internet access enabled for your IP address.
Wireless hotspots confront you with a login page when you try to
access the internet from them.
essentially its ethernet on a different physical medium, so if you can
do it with wires you can probably do it without.

Thanks.
I'm just unsure as to how WEP, ... all add up and play with ARP, DCHP to
make a coherent whole.
I suppose I am more or less after a wireless hotspot, though need to
look into it further.
Thanks.
Will have a browse.

Is there any hotspot in UK that is free for public?

Might be wrong here as I am quite new to WiFi networking but perhaps
two access points (They are getting cheaper), one with WEP and shared
key and the other with Open System.

I think it's for non-payment.
Their site seems to be quite broken.
When I go to login, after accepting the password, it breaks with a
"script error" or something.
I think it may be as it's one of the few original accounts with
one word URLs.
Trying to fix it.

You need http://consume.net
What you are asking to do is quite simple with a good AP.
Yo can lock internet to client MAC addresses and provide a WEP key anyone
else can be redirected to a webpage either on your own or www network.
This is how its actually done but you can get more complex with radius
servers and the like as WEP can be cracked.
Is this a business or sharing?

Arn't MAC addresses trivially forged?
I know they are with ethernet.
Thanks for the link, will check it later.
Just sharing.
