[BAWUG] Bridging via Airports?

[DaveC]

I read some contributions to BAWUG, awhile back, about bridging with 
Airports. I didn't understand much (not that the explanation was 
lacking; my understanding is...), so I thought I'd ask if anyone 
could help me figure out what to do.

I want to get DSL access from a network nearby to my office. Both are 
10/100baseT networks. I have 2 airports (Graphite and Snow), and a 
LinkSys BESR41 router that are available for use in this scenario.

I want to have the Graphite Airport do simple Ethernet-to-wireless 
translation, and the Snow Airport to do the inverse translation as 
well as DHCP, NAT, and PPoE duties for my LAN.

Is this possible? Some people I ask say things like if I assign 
identical SSIDs, WEP pw's, and MAC addresses for the connected 
computers, but assign unique channels to each Airport, it should 
work. I have such little experience (and a bit more understanding) 
that it's not gonna happen without a bit more understanding (on my 
part) and instruction (on some generous soul's part).

Any comments or suggestions anyone has pull from the collective 
experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
