access points/networking/winxp_linux
hey everyone, i have a question, first of all i have a current wireless network at my apartment...
connections:
1 win xp wired to a wireless router
1 redhat 9 wired to a wireless router
1 winxp laptop - wireless
the area of my apartment where i can set up the base and have my computers are is very limited..
i want to leave the base station where it is, and move my wired xp and redhat machines to another room.
my plan is leave my router and cable modem where they are.. easy to hide..
i have another router that can act as an access point (AP)....
i have also bought a wireless card for my winxp pc...
my question is can i run an ethernet wire from my access point to my linux box?
i also asked some belkin expert if i would be able to use a crossover cable directly from my pc to my linux box, he said no it would not work because i would have a wireless connection and a wired connection, which i cannot have..
either way i would just like to be able to go online with my linux box.. im still learning to use linux and im not too sure about putting a wireless network card in that machine yet..
i appreciate any help i can get
