Hey guys, Well, I've finally joined the ranks of the wireless. Today I went out and got the following:
- D-LINK DCF-650W Compact Flash NIC (for the iPAQ) - Linksys WPC11 PC Card NIC (for the laptop) - Linksys BEFW11S4v2 EtherFast WAP + Cable / DSL Router Now, this equipment is supposed to be for business purposes, so the first course of action was to set it up for use with my demo kit (a Compaq Evo N400c & 2 Armada M300s) and my productivity unit (Compaq M700). Well, after cussing the manual several times, I finally got it all working properly. However, I'd like to have the freedom of using the WAP when I'm home by simply connecting it to my existing LAN. Existing LAN has a multi-homed, Windows 2000 Advanced Server connected to Comcast via one NIC and the local LAN via the other. The Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Auto-Sensing 8-Port hub that I use has an uplink and my new WAP has a WAN link. Is it possible for me to just connect the WAP to the hub and the wireless connected clients be able to pass through using NAT?
