Thanks heaps,

I will go check it out now,
I have installed Zebra, and shorewall and webmin, and will start to do come
config of it, but i was not sure about zebra, so this will help.
I have not got any network diagrams, but i wil attempt some ascii art below
if you are interested.

(Need to view in Plain Text)
                                -------------------------
----------                |  Existing FBSD Router
  -------                   --------------------
| Internet |---------- | eth0                      eth1| ------------ | HUB
| ----------- | Other Computers |
----------                -------------------------                     ----
---                  ---------------------

       ---------------------

|        eth0               |

| Wireless Router    |
                                                     Antenna -----------|
eth1 (wireless)      |
                                                                            
       --------------------

Now if that worked, all i am after is to give access so that the wireless
can have access to the internal network but not the internet. So i was
thinking i would give different subnet to the wireless stuff, and allow that
to route on the internal network.

If anyone would like a more detailed drawing, i would be happy to draw
something up and include other details like subnet mask and IP's etc....

Any suggestions are welcome

PS If the ascii art does not turn out correctly let me know and i will do a
proper diagram later. (i am using OE6 and it looks fine in plain text)
