So here's what's up. I'm a chef at a boyscout camp this summer and I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere Colorado. No cell service. No way to contact family. Fortunately there is satellite internet, but this satellite internet is only available in the office. I bought a router (Linksys DualBand Wireless-N) so I could get internet in my cabin which isn't very far away. So I plug in and all is well.
Here is where the Nazi fuck comes in. I realize the internet stopped working so my manager couldn't turn in her sysco order in time. Which really fucked us because how the hell are kids gonna eat if we can't get our food order turned in?
I call up on out radio:
Me "Kitchen to Base"
Nazi fucker "this is base"
Me "Our internet seems to be down and we need to make a food order, do you mind taking a look?"
Nazi "Ah... Well you see you plugged in a router last night which kicked me off the internet so I had to unplug you."
Me "Okay, well is there a range of IPs I can set the router to so it doesn't kick you off?"
Nazi "Just unplug the stupid router or I'll come down there with a machete."
Me "Are you serious? I need to email my family..."
Nazi "Well you're in Auchwitz so fuck you and do what I say."
It says in mine and everyone else's contract that we get internet but this old cooky fucking nazi bastard keeps kicking me off every time I connect my router. I did an IP scan and there is a HUGE range of free IPs but he can't seem to find the testicles to cooperate with us.
Now to the point, is there a way I can discreetly have my router plugged in possibly without him knowing or so that it just looks like the office computer? Thank you all for reading and I hope I get a reply soon before Carl fucking Marx cuts me off again.
Try setting you router to a different subnet to the main router.
Say his router is 192.168.1.1 and yours is say 192.168.1.57 (for example) then change your router to 192.168.2.1 this should eliminate that problem.. maybe...
That is just a guess though, I am not sure if it would work or not.
You know what I was thinking about that but I didn't know if he maybe scans other subnets too. He is that much of a prick. If you met him in real life you would wanna sock him in the dome.
Well I'm gonna try that now and reply from my cabin if it worked!
Why don't you call the people that run the camp?
Well first off hide the machete...
ok if your going to go with the incognito way, all I can think of is taping it to the under side of any desk (if theirs a desk near by)
Other then that all I can think of is to tell him "Do it for the Children!".
[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;23436965]Why don't you call the people that run the camp?[/QUOTE]
It's a long story, but basically this guy is one of 5 guys that run the camp. There are 3 different camps all together and this guy runs one that isn't even mine. I alked to the camp director and he doesn't know anything about computers and says Ted is the guy to go to. And Ted is a lazy fuck.
You can remove a PCI plate cover in the office PC, then run the Ethernet cables and the power cables through the empty bay and stash the router inside the office PC. Plug the office PC into the router too, so it uses that DHCP server rather than the satellite modem's DHCP server. You also can make it seem like there's only one Ethernet cable going to the computer if you hide it right.
I'd also keep an eye on the data usage too, since some satellite internet connections are capped at low amounts of data like 200 MB a day, so hold off on heavy browsing. Make sure the router is passworded, if it's a boyscout camp, who knows... Some kid could be watching Youtube on his iPod Touch and eating it all up.
Oh I just had an idea! Is there a way I can use my computer's second ethernet to force internet into the router?

It's not a matter of physically hiding the router, the router apparently when plugged in puts it's ip through hughesnet's router which Ted can see. Otherwise my router is taped below the desk and looks fucking ninja James Bond style awesome.

You could use black electrical tape and paint the router red, make it look like Hollywood dynamite.
If the guy is that much of a jerk then he's probably monitoring traffic.

I think if he were smart enough he would be doing that. Something tells me all he is doing is port scanning.
Well presuming he is telling the truth about being kicked off the net which is possible if your router is operating on the same sub-net try changing the sub net and see if he stops bitching.
This guy sounds like a right cunt.
If he's as bad as you say, he's probably watching porn on that connection and doesn't want any chance of anyone finding out.
I'd set it up so all the computers are working on the same subnet. Setting static IPs on all the computers could work too.
You mentioned you have 2 ethernet ports. You could share the internet connection with everything connected to the other port if you can get whatever OS you're using to cooperate. Just make sure whatever you do doesn't interfere with him.
Turn him in and mention he's breaking the contract.
don't do this
router->switch->router, UNLESS YOU SUBNET THE NETWORK then route it
[editline]12:25AM[/editline]
tell him to set his router on a subnet like 192.168.1.1/28 and yours 192.168.1.129/28 then route them
I bet you are plugging it into the wan port plug it into the switch see if it works, if not dial into the router set it up to be an AP only
does anyone else see this turning out to be type of scooby doo situation?
"And I would of gotten away if it wasn't for you medeling kids"

I think it is more of I have improper subnet masks assigned, or some idiot kept unplugging the router and resetting the default gateway on the router
Well I fixed it! I basically set the Router up to act less like a router and more like a wireless hub! So Hughesnet's router assigns my IP and Ted just thinks its another computer! Finally I can use my brand new Asus G73JH from my cabin now. Thanks for all the ideas guys!
