Re: Allowing Visitor Internet access

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



If the partner uses a wireless connection to a WAP outside of your client's
network, the partner won't know (or care) that they aren't connecting to the
Internet from the LAN. They'll just fire up their laptop and connect to the
web. No discussion needs to take place between your client and their
partner other than: you can get access to the Internet by configuring your
laptop to automatically get an IP address via your wireless NIC. The
partner is happy... your client is happy... you're happy.
