I have been using a similar setup for the last few months, one of the thin clients uses a VIA EDEN board. The Ethernet bridge is just that, a bridge that is transparent to the network, just think of it as extension of your Ethernet cable. You plug the thin client into the wireless bridge using a Ethernet cable and it will connect to the access point over wireless instead of Ethernet. My wireless access point is plugged into the same switch as the other thin clients, the thin client connecting via wireless is no different to connecting via the Ethernet cable When it works it's great! Save yourself some pain and use bridges and a access point from the same manufacturer. I have a mix, some work well together and others don't. Save yourself more pain by ensuring that you enable WEP encryption !! Derek p.s. If you have a hands free phone on the same 2.4GhZ frequency (for 811.b), do yourself a favor and "bin it" > -- > Hallvard P > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g > Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
