[MLB-WIRELESS] Where to go for technical help?

[Joe Hovel]

Glen,
I have been looking for a solution to a similar problem. I suspect the only
solution is a "software bridge" or "software access point" made by Compaq
for their WL100 &WL200 cards (NOT the current versions!). I'm waiting to
hear how this works out from another MW member who has one on order. I think
I would go to XP to use its bridging - if my proxy server would allow it...
As far as routing is concerned, I believe its possible to route TCP/IP
packets across subnets, but you will not be able to browse (or "see")
resources across subnets, you will have to address them by full name -
anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
Cheers,
Joe
