I kind of agree about it being complicated although bridging sucks performance wise, but then so does WiFi. But if he can connect Ubuntu over WiFi to his neighbours WAP then it really is fairly straightforwardish.
One thing I should probably mention is do you need to bridge the transporter to the Internet? There may be some tricks needed to get the ethernet ip addresses to work properly and make the ubuntu box route things. If on the otherhand the Ubuntu box is simply the squeezecenter to the transporter then there ain't much else to do, and I would use static addresses on the ethernet side for simplicity - eg say wifi is 192.168.0.x then Vista Wireless Lan DHCP (assigned 192.168.0.x by neighbour WAP) Ubuntu wlan0 DHCP (assigned 192.168.0.x by neighbour WAP) eth0 Static 192.168.1.2/Netmask 255.255.255.0/Gateway 192.168.1.1 (does not exist) Transporter IP Address 192.168.1.3/Netmask 255.255.255.0/Gateway 192.168.1.1 I can if you need show you how to configure the ubuntu box as a gateway, but this becomes messy as you will then absolutely have to create static routes, and static IPs on your neighbour's lan - truly horrible and hard to diagnose from afar. anyway always happy to help Cheers Rajiv -- rdhir ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rdhir's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13634 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61539 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
