Hi,

I went out and purchased a wok....12". Nice, robust thing. Now, the question is - when making a parabolic antenna, does it matter if the rear plane is flat, as most woks will be? I've calculated the focus to be exactly 70mm out and about 15dB gain speculated...

And second question - USB is no problem with long runs etc, but can you share one computer's USB connection to the AP in my other house (ie. usb parabola -> AP in my other place) via ethernet? I assume so, as Windows (pretty much) has the option to do something very similar. Just wondering if anyone else has done similar?
