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

[Carl Johnston]

I'd suggest not bothering with bridging, unless you're using a *nix then I
can't see it being reliable.  Go with the routing option and place a WINS
server on the router, this way all the windows clients will be able to see
each other and merrily swap packets :)
