    WiFi Question

    Here is my home network setup:

    ADSL (512 From Pipex at the moment) - May well move to the 2MB trial.
    In to a Netgear DM602 which is connected to a Tornado 242 (which rocks by the way)

    http://www.allieddata.com/asp/produc...=133&brandid=2

    Anyway off this I have a Linux mirroring box which mirrors data from a few webservers around the world.

    I Also have this:

    http://www.x-micro.com/wlan-11g-brouter.htm

    Which I want to act as a bridge in my office - find the other wifi and allow me to plug in to it my PCs in the office.

    the networking stuff lives in a cupboard in the lounge (due to phone sockets- and sky+ being there).

    Anyone got any ideas? I would not mind moving the Tornado if I know it will work but I have only just managed to configure everything sweetly.

    The aim is to have a switch in my office which I can plug PCs in to without having to run a cable up to it.

    Any one help?

    I also want to build another system to sit on the network connection which can run MS small biz application so that I can have mobile office connectivity.

    Sounds like it should just work as is. Can't the X-Micro access the Tornado and join that network, for you to then plug your stuff into in your office?

    It can't see it for some stupid reason.

    I don't want to have to have a system in here running XP or something which plugs in to the X-Micro and turns it in to a Bridge.

    I really want to avoid ordering a part
