If you just want Point to point then get 2 WAP's and set them up MAC to MAC.
as a Bridge.
This works I have tried it.
If you want to share the connection then you are on the No Cat path. I will
be watching the traffic because I also want to know.

Subject: [BAWUG] Setting up a gateway


I'm trying to setup a gateway and having no fun :o(

I went and got the NoCat software, since it was recomended in a wireless
book.
I'm not a linux person and just dont know where to begin..
I looked in th sputnik since others say it uses some NoCat parts.

I downloaded the sputnik cd and its just not working for me either.

setup is a pc 1.2Ghz, 128megs, 20gig, cdrom. 1 nic ether card
2 pcmcia slot holders, 2 orinoco gold client pcmcia cards.

sputnik fails to deliver any dynamic ip's, I see it through my portable CE's
units
but it shows as a peer-to-peer and not infrustructure.. whts up with that?

I really want to use just NoCat and I want to beam the signal from my house
to
the remote location. the remote is where the pc is and I was thinking I
could
just put 2 wireless cards in it, 1 for the connection back to the house and
1 for
the access. I've read the docs and they dont say this wont work,

does anyone know where there is some really dummy-docs for me since I really
feel like a dummy-doc is wht I need to even get this thing off the ground.

I've purchase a ssl cert so I could send the login to my other system as
well.
so I was looking at the design being..

roaming computer ----> pcwireless card1-->remote pc--->pcwireless
card2 --->my house pc wireless card1--->internet

can this even be done?

Thanks
