To avoid using puwireless

hmartiro commented 11 years ago

Implemented. Instructions:

The computer boots and automatically connects to puwireless. It can be used just like before, with an ip of 10.9.44.176. However, you can ssh xjus@10.9.44.176 and run the command connect-adhoc. This is a command I created that disconnects the computer from puwireless and creates its own adhoc network called xjus. You then must close out of SSH or RDP and connect your laptop to the xjus wifi network. At this point, you can SSH or RDP in using the IP 10.42.0.1. Your laptop is now connected directly to the robot with no communication through the Princeton network. However, neither computer has an internet connection, so keep in mind that pulling from Github won't work. To revert back to puwireless, run the command connect-puwireless. Switch the laptop's network back to puwireless, and RDP back in using 10.9.44.176.
