This would be easy to do with a second wireless router and then you
could lose the wireless card in the PC.
Code:
--------------------
neighbor ~~~ router1 --- router2 ~~~ Squeezebox
--- PC
~~~ wireless
--- wired
--------------------
Easiest way to do this would use router2 as a non-routing wireless
access point, which gives you just two subnets to deal with.
- Configure router1 as both a DHCP client and a DHCP server.
- Note your neighbor's subnet addressing. Let's say it's
192.168.1/255.255.255.0. You'll be able to tell by the WAN address
and subnet mask that are assigned to router1.
- Choose a separate subnet for your own network, such as
192.168.5/255.255.255.0.
- Assign 192.168.5.1 as the IP address for the LAN (not WAN) side of
router1.
- Configure the DHCP server on router1 with a pool of addresses such
as 192.168.5.10 - 192.168.5.30.
- Connect router2 using wired ethernet from one of its _LAN_ ports to
a LAN port on router1.
- Assign a static IP address of 192.168.5.2 to router2.
- Disable both the DHCP client and DHCP server on router2 (very
important).
- Make sure wireless on router2 is enabled and set up your security
and password.
- Connect wireless devices such as the Squeezebox to router2's
wireless, using the password you've set.
- Plug any wired devices, such as the PC in to router2's LAN ports.
The WAN port of router2 will be unused.
Additionally, if the PC is going to act as a SqueezeCenter server then
I'd also assign it a static IP address on your lan - say 192.168.5.3.
If you can determine which channel your neighbor's wireless network is
running on then configure your own wireless network to use a channel as
far from it as possible.
