The wireless unit is in another room. The G5 has to do wireless because of the layout. Its not my choice but its how it must be done. The SE/30 has to use Internet Connection Sharing on the G5
OK, I see. Thanks! I thought maybe there was some limitation to an AEBS that I didn't know about.
Especially if you are talking about setting up a server (on the SE30?) then for the setup I think you have been describing, you'll need port forwarding on the router, set to move the traffic to the OS X machine. Then on the OS X machine, you'll have to have something running for router software to forward the traffic again to the SE. You could avoid all this by just putting the SE on the router, even using the little hub if you have to.
Sadly the router can only port forward 192.168.1.0 and OS X hands out 192.168.2.0. I COULD put the SE/30 on the wifi router but it lives in the livingroom. I am considering moving the cable modem to the garage and putting the wifi near the garage/livingroom door.
I think you could port forward from the wireless router to the OS X, then have added a router software under OS X to move traffic to the SE (on the different subnet). There are a handful of softwares to do that, from free to commercial. It does not take that much CPU to toss packets around, so I doubt you'd notice much of a hit in performance on the OS X machine.
SE's make good little servers :) (I guess you haven't said the SE was the server you had in mind, though). I had NetPresenz running on an SE/30 for years. I just replaced it with a unix box last Jan as I wanted to move to sftp.
Sounds like a neat project :) It's fun when it all works!
