I have a laptop I use at work that has an unused wireless connection.
The work LAN is thru a 100 mbs wire. I have another machine at home
that is connected via a wire to my home LAN and also has an unused
wireless connection. The home LAN goes through a router to the net.
I can get to the net with my work box at home by plugging a wire in
to the wire, but I thought it would be educational to just use the
two wireless connections to the work box connected to the net at
home.
Shouldn't I be able to share the wireless connection on my home box
to do this, effectively making my home box a second router? Can this
be done directly through MCC or do I need to do additional
configuration?
TIA Paul
You should be able to do it through MCC. Just remember that when
setting up the wireless interface that you want it in the ad hock mode,
and not the managed mode. (I don't think MCC can handle setting up the
wireless NIC to act as a access point.)
