Hi,

I have a class B network, which has 1 firewall to access internet.

I want to setup a wireless network which will be used by anyone to
accessinternet, but here is my problem.
I have no choice to plug wireless router to my network, (can't plug
it in to switch outside firewall due to location) to allow it to
access internet. - I don't want wireless users who will be accessing
this router, to see or access my class B network to obtain IP
address, or see any resources on mynetwork

I will configure wireless router to access my LAN (give router
static IP,and define default gateway to access internet)
Define class C subnet for wireless users and have them obtain
different IPaddress range.
Then put the wireless router into confined area.

How secure would this setup be, against viruses, warm and or
hackers. (Anyone's laptop who may be infected by worm or pest, i
don't want them haveany impact on my LAN)

Thanks
MC

Your LAN does not have any significant protection from malicious
traffic on this wireless LAN without a firewall.

Scott
