Hi Tim, I have precisely this kind of setup simply by having two network interfaces on my main system which runs iptables and is connected vis the internal lan cable and hub to a wireless repeater on which connect to my wifi gadgets like ps3, nokia phone & bravia tv. What I really like is the level of control I have from configuring iptables right down to monitoring with wireshark and dhcp contro of clients. Perish the thought of a cable wifi router. incidentally, as Dan sys 8.8.8.8 is google dns. Whya are you not using Virgins own dns - which can be set via dhcp? Regards Andy
