In the office there is already an existing LAN with 6 desktop machine 1 dns server / dhcp server / gateway, ip address range 10.1.10.110 ~ 10.1.10.240, connection of entire LAN is by cable with a switch box, every machine is working fine.

network segments can't communicate at all - Can anyone give some ideas how to make the wireless group to join the wired group?


What does this have to do with anything Fedora related??

Anyway, do you wish to segregate your wireless users from the wired users? Is your Linksys performing NAT? Are you trying to reach file shares?

Here's a quick, but not very secure way of getting your wireless users on the same network. Just take a LAN port from the Linksys and connect it to your switch that the rest of the computers are connected to. Go to the Linksys and disable DHCP. Now your Linksys is in essence, acting as a wireless bridge. It acts as an access point to allow the wireless computers to join, but DHCP broadcasts are sent along to your 10.1.10.x network where the DHCP server responds back to the wirless laptops.
