Now I may have not understood you here but ...... If all you want to do is have one of the wireless connections as a backup then this is just a routing issue.
List both routes within your routing table and weight the metrics so that by default it leaves via one link. When/if that link drops then after the time out of your routing protocol expires it will adjust the metrics so that it leaves via the other link. IP addressing shouldnt be much of an issue if your using NAT on your linux box. Of course I may have this completely wrapped around my neck but it seems pretty simple ;) Stuart Eddleston Network Admin:"The Servers in a Lead-lined, Air-tight Reinforced Concrete Box which is locked. Theres 2 Armed Guards and 24 Hour CCTV surveillance. The powers off and the networks Unplugged." Manager:"Yes, Yes...... But is it secure?" Network Admin:"Probably Not......" >>> "Steven Pierce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/03/02 10:13AM >>> Glynn, I have had the same question. I have not as of yet been able to find anyone that can tell me how it will work. I have been advised that CISCO has equipment that will allow this to work. Please let me know when you find out.
