Hi,
My company is expanding into a building across the street. I would like to link the two networks by means of a "wireless bridge". There are quite a lot of hardware choices out there and I'm not sure what we would need. Does anybody have any experience setting up such a network environment?
We have a mixed OS 9/X environment with about 20 computers. Would there be problems with appletalk on OS9 computers across the bridge? Would I need to set up a completely separate LAN in the new building or can the router from the first building hold both networks together? Can the DSL connection from the first building be shared with the second via the wireless bridge?
Is there a proper term for this kind of network setup? Sometimes its hard to google when you don't know what you are googling for.
If anyone could just drop some hints/links it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nitz
