Re: [Nolug] 802.11

Again. Not if you're on the same private IP subnet with your wireless
link.

privateIP 1=192.168.10.1 privateIP2=192.168.10.2 both with class C
netmask. direct connection. It's a LAN. No routing involved. It's
just like if you had wired cards and just strung a big long cable
between the locations and agreed upon settings for your LAN IP
network.

If the wireless nics can "see" one another. then you're not using the
public internet to "talk". If they can't, then there's no need for
wireless use a VPN/SSH/IPv6 tunnel etc.

Look at your own diagram again. YOu already have a direct connection
via the wireless link. Agree upon a privateIP subnet and you're done.
The fact that you also can reach each other via you're wired links
across the public internet is an additional method of connecting and
irrelevant to building a wireless LAN.
