Well. I think I can get it going fairly soon, now that I have some time on my hands. Between the end of the semester, exams, and not wanting to work on this, I had a lot of other things to do.
Not wanting to work on this, you say? I knew it! Well, yes, and I'm sorry. This is a discouraging project - I couldn't figure out where to go with it for a long time, and I sat in a busy-wait loop for several days. When I would try to pick it up again, I'd immediately go into the same train of thought, hit the same dead-ends, and after a while it got so discouraging that I had to give up. In general, working with multiple network adapters on Windows is a pain in the ass. I had two network adapters, one connected to my normal network, and one plugged into the Linksys I was working with. This caused a lot of issues with default routes, DNS, etc. that often broke my normal network in odd ways. But I think I can do it another way - plug my machine into only the Linksys, and work on that only. There's not actually a whole lot to go, but it's got some tricky aspects. I promise minimum of daily reports on this until it's working. Hold me to this.
