Many months have gone by. Seems the WRT hardware mentioned is fundamentally a Linux project. The hardware is essentially a Linux computer with 8p8c jacks on the side and an antenna sticking out on the end. It's just a Linux machine. As such, anything that can be done with networking can be done...

Now THIS is a complex question. I'm going to follow this one for sure. But so as to completely waste everyone’s time. I have a couple of questions that might serve to stimulate some responses. The 'microwave' is reduced to Ethernet, and then further to most likely IP at either end of the...

Friend. Judging by the language that you use, you have referred to the reference. That's wonderful. However I never asked you a question about anything. Please don't waste your time 'explaining' anything to me. I never asked a question, someone else posed a question here. You have...

Yes of course you are right. Any reference will explain that. http://linux.die.net/man/3/gets [shadeshappy] Amiel Summers

The explanations requred here, have to do with basic data types. The variables declared in a C program are never 'converted' once initialized. Such that; once str is declared it will always be of that 'type' (In addition to the 'reference' link provided in your posts, I noticed your use of a...

Incidently. Just for the heck of it I visited the link that Salem included in his post... Clearly, that somewhat spiritual presentation, is intented to elicit a sense of mystery about things that are not the least bit mysterious. Example for item 6.6b; we are talking about initializing...

... or use fgets Amiel Summers

No one ever said anything about caring about perfection in any of this. gets works fine. It may not be perfect for all situations. The code to process user console input was written and perfected many many years ago. It hasn't changed. ...nor has the answer to this question changed. gets is...

Yes, when you pass it to a function. We are using the fscanf function. fscanf expects an address. str is an address. &str is the address of the address. Amiel Summers amielzz@netscape.net

I would use something like: char buff[SUITABLE_BUFFER]; gets(buff); Amiel Summers

...hmmmmm. str is a variable, a pointer to an array of type char (actually str is a pointer to the first element of the array of characters). So, the statement &str provides the address of the variable str (a pointer in this case). Therefore, &str is the address of a pointer, or the address...

You are passing the address of the pointer in fscanf.... Pass the pointer instead. Amiel Summers amielzz@netscape.net

Not exactly the answer that I was looking for... it was a kind of a trick question. Looking at the 'domain' itself as part of the answer. SteveTheGeek answered the question concisely. The CCIE guide describes the answer exactly that way. It is because the Cisco Study guide handles the...

Yes, as I stated I am researching the problem. Amiel Summers

I have a question. But as a part of the queston I would like to ask that the responses consider that my objective here is to identify the narrowest (most consise) explanation/answer for the question posed. Which is: In connecting two routers using IP interfaces; what are the minimal required...
