I do know both sets of addresses. I will assign a static IP to a wireless client in the lan side subnet and see if I can get throught eh Linksys router. from the wireless side. Thanks

With the wireless Linksys hooked directly to the same switch and no firewall blocking the way, theoretically a wireless client could guess the IP subnet of the wired clients (wouldn't be hard), add a static route to their machine and voila -- access to your internal network. You'd be much safer with a router/firewall in front of your LAN, preferrably putting the wireless subnet in a DMZ. The easiest way to do this is to get an old 486/Pentium with two (or preferrably three) NICs and use FreeSCO (http://www.freesco.org/) or LEAF/Bering (http://leaf.sourceforge.net/). - John -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
