Yep.
For the Marine Corps Marathon we instruct operators that aid station
computers are completely updated. Them say to turn off all updates for
the race weekend. Otherwise the network or link comes to a complete
stop. Discovered that the first year we used them. Lucky the offending
laptop was just a short walk away. We have also considered putting in
firewall rules that only allow traffic outbound to the runner database
but that turned out to not be necessary as the volunteers followed the
guidelines.

Leon,
Two ID-1s on the same channel just act as a Ethernet Hub. What goes in one side comes out the other.
And that’s a very important thing to remember, many Ethernet connections have a lot of background traffic occurring on them. One of the most common scenarios is that you have two PCs that you dedicate to this function and they stay powered off most of the time. You power them up for a special event and find that the network throughput is dismal. Then you find out that they are downloading updates.

Subject: [D-STAR_23cm] ID-1 to ID-1 and internet connection
At one time someone published a file which is not on this yahoo group.
The subject was how to use 2 ID-1s without a repeater and connect one to the internet and the other being able to access the web.
Does anyone have info to accomplish this ?
