[K12OSN] Brodcasting to Wireless 2.4 connections...

[ATM Logic]

Ok... I guess what I should be asking is this...

If you have a setup such as this...

		Internet
		   |
		IP COP+
		   |
		K12LTSP
		   |
	  24 Port Switch
		|	|
    WirelessAP   Classroom
	  |
  100' Tower


If I have this setup, I would like to have the users "in the community" to
be able to access the K12LTS 'IF' they paid for a subscription, and got a
user/pass.  However if they did not, yet could still access the AP they
cannot take advantage of the wireless network to access the internet... They
may be able to "connect" however it would be the same as connecting the the
network at the airport... Totally useless unless you pay for a card.  (Or
have Ethereal installed  :)

I have been looking at other things such as NoCat, as well as off the shelf
boxes like NOMADIX however, its always nice to just do one stop shopping  :)

Any more thoughts?  I am not sure how I would set up the 2nd card if I
hooked up a 2nd nic... How to I "tell" it not to do any more than "allow"
local connections maybe?

Thanks..
		   



Hi there,

You could hook your AP to a second network adaptor on the K12LTSP server.
It's then only able to get access out from there.

I used to have my network setup like that at home.

that can

	Anyone have any thoughts on this?
