It's called the link-local subnet (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3927.txt). <br /><br />Basically, the card should assign itself an ip in the 169.254/16 prefix. If there's another PC in the same (ad-hoc) network, it will have assigned itself an ip in that prefix too, so they should be able to discover each other with the standard local discovery protocols (SMB or Bonjour). <br /><br />Since the Eye-Fi Manager runs on Windows, I guess that it uses SMS, so installing Samba on the linux server should do the trick. BTW, it's all speculation, since I don't have a eye-fi card, but technically there's no reason why it shouldn't work.Guillaume Filionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853431407966601471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602435813834678741.post-5311826425167242622009-03-09T05:18:00.000-07:002009-03-09T05:18:00.000-07:00WeshaTheLeopard, you might be interested in this, ...WeshaTheLeopard, you might be interested in this, perhaps - http://kin.klever.net/iii/ - it's pretty basic implementation, but does the trick and doesn't take up much memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602435813834678741.post-50449849572006164942009-02-20T10:06:00.000-08:002009-02-20T10:06:00.000-08:00OK, so I firewalled the card to ONLY talk to my se...OK, so I firewalled the card to ONLY talk to my server and no other computer on the network, and it works just fine. Once again kudos to you and to Jeffrey Tchang for the standalone server! I think I should port it to some other language, too.Wesha the Leopardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12241009198628534535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602435813834678741.post-47361666701734646832009-02-18T15:27:00.000-08:002009-02-18T15:27:00.000-08:00The card does not need to phone home to function, ...The card does not need to phone home to function, except at first to retrieve settings.
