greets, folks! i am hoping to do a little bit of wirelessness here, largely -- no, entirely -- so that my wife can take her notebook machine out of her office and up by the fireplace (it was several degrees below zero here again this morning). problem is, i already have a nice hardwired network set up here, the lone purpose of which is to firewall and to give all the machines internet access via the cable modem. i am not especially eager to move everything to wireless.
what i'm wondering, then, is whether it's possible to use one of the existing ports on my router, put a wireless box on it, put a wireless pcmcia nic in the notebook, and have it all work. and, if so, whether there's any special trick to making it work. it seems as if this ought to be okay, but it might also be that there would be some sort of dhcp collision or something, by chaining a wireless box (router, right?) after another router. ideas? -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
