I've looked all over, but I haven't found anything describing what I
want to do (or perhaps I don't know how to accurately describe what I
want to do). Either way, what I'm trying to say is that I've RTFM.
I have a wired 100 Mbps home network. It's a Linksys router/4-port
switch connected to an 8-port switch, all fed by a Comcast connection to
the public Internet. I also have a laptop with 802.11b/g, and I'd like
to use it strictly for Internet access. In other words, the wired
network shouldn't be able to see the wireless network, and vice versa.
I'm assuming this should be secure enough for my needs, and I also plan
on using MAC filtering, not broadcasting the SSID, and turning on WEP to
deter passers-by. So even if someone does happen to break in to the
wireless network, all they'll get is some free Web access, and no files
on the wired network will be compromised.
How can I do this?
