I have wireless, wi-fi, connection with my neighbor. My neighbor has an SMC7004VWBR 802.11b router, I use an Asus WL-330g as a wireless NIC. I have three computers (arrakis, caladan, geidiPrime). The 330g doesn't use USB cable, but ethernet RJ45 type cable. Linux on a dual-boot box has access only after configuring from the Windows installation on that box, which is madness. Currently, this is the setup, just one computer connected to the internet. Apparently, the WL-330g has only a partial implementation of Proxy ARP. In practical terms, this means that when the 330g NIC is operating in a "Multi-IP bridge environment" that it's possible to connect the 330g to a switch and then the computers to the switch. However, each computer has to run this special software from Asus and, of course, the utility only works from windows. A work around to this is to use one computer as a gateway, as in the diagram at: <http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php>, except that the instead of connecting directly to the internet the connection is to another router. That just seems silly, though. Any thoughts? suggestions? thanks, Thufir
