Re: TCP/IP Urgent help

I've got to agree with Ulf here. Layer 2 routing over wireless? Its going
out of your way to make it wrong.
You've got to have some type of device at each location. Make it a router,
on separate subnets and be done with it.

Either one of these is going to take some technical expertise. You can ether
learn it, or hire a local consultant. The price tag shouldn't be that big
compared to the wireless implementation.

Hope it helps
