Welcome to mesh networking. Your feeling is very common so I thought I would take a moment to explain what is happening. You have just created a NETWORK. This particular network is "a wired network without wires". In order to do keyboard to keyboard communications (or chat), you need a chat program. Both users need the application and in the case of chat, a server is also needed somewhere on the mesh. Other applications would be to view a remote camera, look up an owners manual for your radio on a web or FTP server, make a VOIP call, etc. Each of these items requires both the network and an application to be complete. Some need only the source (IP camera) and the your web browser to view it. Others require applications to be loaded on each end. Some things work fine with just apps on each end while others require both the app and a server of some sort (think of VOIP phones + asterisk). If you plug into your wired or wireless network at home, you wouldn't be able to keyboard to another user without an app. Your home network (and this one) will carry data communications/video/VOIP calls between different computers or locations, but applications are needed to get anything done.
Expressing your query another way, people say "what can I do with a mesh network?" The answer is best expressed by changing the circumstance. What can you do with a wired or WiFi network? There are literally thousands of answers to that question and most of them also work over a mesh network. I hope this changes the way you see the mesh. It is the single biggest concept that new users must grasp. |

Thanks for the Info;
I'm getting there, hi hi. A friend of mine Has the older firmware installed and told me to use the software named MIRC to do data, keyboard to keyboard. My question is MIRC works with the new firmware 1.0? Do you know any software that works with the new firmware? any help will be appreciated.
God Bless!

Refael, Yes, MIRC is running on your PC and the IRC server, for your keybd to keybd, works EXACTLY like it did before.

Thanks for the information, Do I have to configure the MIRC to be able to communicate? Or as soon you connect your router and start the MIRC works properly.
Any settings on the MIRC?

The only thing to "configure" with MIRC is to tell it the IP address of the node running the IRC server along with the channel/room in order to make a connection. The channel #mesh is always present on the server. I would suggest you visit the website www.mirc.com where you can learn all about MIRC.

Yuck... AVOID MIRC!!! It is dirty and people will make fun of you ;-)
Hexchat is a nice little program that is lightweight and runs on several different operating systems. It is also opensource and extremely powerful....
