    What AP are you using Jim? I've been contemplating for quite a while a
    setup where I have my local network connected to a Linux firewall box
    and using a cable modem. I'd like to connect an AP to the hub on the
    local network, put an antenna above the house, the other end is a Linux
    box about 1 mile away where there would be a WIFI card and external
    antenna, line the antennas up based on GPS readouts at both ends, so the
    remote end can gain internet access via my network.
    My understanding to date is that the AP will act as extension of my LAN,
    so if e.g I give it a local address on my 192.168.10/24 LAN, I can then
    configure the remote box's IP address to conform with what the AP
    externally is setup for.
    Sounds plausible????
    Regards
    Sid.
