RE: wireless kit for epod and ipaq whats the best?

["Mick Furlong" <dorsai@xxxxxxx>]

Craig

sounds good although it would be nice to have a single box that did all
these
things and supported port forwarding. This would give the best of all
worlds.

Just a question though are you sure it can be used in the way you suggest?

I have briefly scanned the user guide and it seems to assume it is working
in
NAT mode at all times, if it is and if it is allocating your PCs IP
addresses
in the private range then I don't think it is going to be too happy
coexisting with either an ethernet NAT or non-NAT ADSL connection.

All of the above could be garbage btw ;) and I have a underlying motive in
that I want to run a NAT hardware based firewall (with configurable port
forwarding) and a wireless network. When I first looked at this I had hoped
it would do both.

Cheers
Mick
