pn] Thanks for the reply, Ray. Yes, by "this" I mean a linksys wireless router. I installed this one (http://linksys.com/Products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=415) for a friend directly to their DSL bridge, replacing a netgear "wired" router they had. It feeds a hub just like the old router did for their internal wired clients. pn] I thought I might be able to make use of one too. It can be configured for an external dynamic IP assignment, and since I'm using a DHCP server behind my Dachstein firewall/router (upgrading soon to Bearing), all my internal clients are also setup for dynamic IP assignment. Continuing along that line, I figured if I take my existing notebook connection from the hub of the internal network to feed this wireless router, it would get one my 10.x.x.x addresses dynamically (like the notebook did) and assign the notebook with a wireless card one of it's own NAT'ed (preconfigured for 192.168.x.x) addresses. pn] I'm thinking my notebook "wouldn't know the difference" and I'd still have the same protection from my firewall as before, no? However, would I still have "transparent" access to the other, er, Windoze clients on the internal network? Again, I'm thinking it would, looking like it has the IP of the linksys router to the rest of the internal network. Am I right? pn] If adding a separate NIC to the LEAF router/firewall adds something I missed in your previous explanations, please smack me and say it again. But I think this would complicate my access to the other internal clients. pn] BTW, I have a DMZ so I'm already at a 3-NIC system, but adding one more just adds to the fun, eh? ===== ----- Peter Nosko ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) This is a good place for a tagline. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
