BTW, it appears you have not crossposted but multiposted your item.
Crossposted items go to several groups in one post, this allows tracking
the item between all posted groups, good thing. Multiposting means no
threading between groups, bad thing.

======================
I need to setup a DMZ so that short- and long-term visitors living in our
"bunk house" can access the internet in their free time. I found a
2-part
article by Tom Shinder on www.isaserver.org on how to do this. However,
I've
read a couple threads on their message boards that the steps he outlines
need tweaking. Any comments on that?

Now for my question. First, background: I have 4 WAP's (D-Link
DWL-2200APs);
the primary WAP is cabled into my unmanaged D-Link switch. All IP's come
from my server's DHCP server. After discussion with my local IT and IT
services provider, I am buying a 3rd NIC, another WAP, an
omni-directional
ceiling wireless antenna, and a managed switch (D-Link DES-3828). I plan
to
use the old unmanaged switch to connect to the WAP which I'll place in
the
"attic" of the "bunk house" and install the ceiling antenna for optimum
signal throughout the building (the attic is mostly metal instead of
wood,
as is the roof). My questions: (1) I have a WAP already in the attic;
should I connect the old switch to it, or get a longer cable and hook
directly up to the external directional antenna? (2) I'm assuming the
original WAP - if kept - should be in the DMZ, too - right? (3) We have
two
houses for long-term graduate students who need acces to the LAN; "bunk
house" does not. Based on all the above, will the steps in Tom Shinder's
articles work? If not, what must I change? (Here's the link to those
articles: http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/2004wirelessdmzpart1.html
