[MLB-WIRELESS] limiting access..

[Will Lanigan]

how the farken can you join the wlan connection and the lan connection so
people connecting to the wlan can see people on the lan (under windows xp)
yes, i know you theoretically just highlight both connections and click
BRIDGE but... it really seems to not work... i'm pretty much at a dead end
regarding this and it's the one thing holding me back from having a fully
functional wireless lan :-/

any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance! :-)
