Using a Linksys WAP54G device. ---- generally the preferred method is to require a VPN to connect the LAN through a wireless system given the security implications of wireless. that notwithstanding though, if you use a dhcp server OTHER than the Linksys device, you can assign a useless gateway address to specific clients which in effect would not allow them to get to any network other than the network which they can directly access. -- Craig White <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
