[MLB-WIRELESS] Where to go for technical help?

[Glen Murphy]

wow, thanks all for the responses.

I basically have a LAN, connected to the internet - each machine has its own
externally accessible IP. Currently I have PCMCIA Enterasys card set to
ad-hoc mode in a Win2K desktop machine set up with Internet Connection
Sharing sitting on the LAN. It's half good because it means my WinXP laptop
can see the internet, but it can't see the other machines on the network,
and has a 192.168.*.* IP

I only want to be able to see the other machines on the network - I know if
I had WinXP on the desktop, I could use its bridging features, but I am
forced to use Win2k there. I've read a few things on setting Win2k to route,
forward packets and other stuff, but they only said HOW to do it, not
whether it was appropriate for my situation or not.

With the expense of Access Points and ready availability of cheap PCMCIA
cards, I'd have figured this situation would be more common, but I guess
not.

Thank you all for your time - it is greatly appreciated,
~ Glen
