A hodge-podge of different private addresses at the moment. When we started
talking about doing tunnels to Sheffield we had talks about sorting out a
coherent allocation (not much effort for such a small amount of nodes).

I've just claimed 10.55/16 on the freenetworks.org ip allocation list. We had
planned on using 172.x but that looks like it is already as much of a mess as
10.x is.

We can do some work on reallocating and tunneling at the workshop.

Nope. Has been discussed but not implemented.

Whichever works best, I am open to suggestions from anyone who has experience
with this. My node is running pebble linux, we are also using some WRT54G nodes
too, so it will need to be implemented on both platforms.

Fantastic. Beginning to think that an afternoon is too short, I'll see if it is
possible to get another room for the morning.

There is an install going on the following day - we will be prepping the kit at
the workshop. If anyone wants to stick around to help out, then accomodation
can be arranged...
