    Default Point to point networks

    I'm thinking of setting up a point to point network wireless to a few friends homes

    The set up would be as -:


    HOUSE A (has 10mb internet )
    HOUSE B (has 10mb internet )
    HOUSE C (has 10mb internet)
    HOUSE D ( has no internet ) (will be sharing internet from HOUSE C )

    the antenna's would be set as following

    HOUSE A ---- HOUSE B -----> HOUSE C ----> HOUSE D

    The distance between each place is not far, less than 300m, all have LOS.

    What i'm looking for is just to share files, don't need to share internet except for HOUSE D, but thats already sorted.

    Is this possible? and what kind of equipment would I need. I'm also thinking of having an external hard drive at HOUSE A which could store all files that we may need.


    Any tips? and potential problems, gladly appreciated

    I'd have thought wireless access points would be the cheapest way to do it? set up with relevant ssid's etc. (to lower the risk of leechers/pokers) If you don't have seperate routers at each address, then another NIC would be cheapest to connect WAP to PC's.

    Default Re: Point to point networks

    How would they be configured to allow private transfering of files? rather than using up bandwidth on the internet connection?

    the router id's are as follows

    192.168.1.1 HOUSE A
    192.168.0.1 HOUSE B
    192.168.1.1 HOUSE C
