Apparently, it depends on your device. I had naively assumed that just
about any device could be configured to do that as well. Seemingly
not. 8) With the device I have now, mine looks like this
DSL -- firewall/NAT -- switch -- wired ethernet boxes
|
WAP -- wireless devices
(hope the ASCII "art" comes through ok)
Where the WAP is doing NAT'ing and the wireless devices are on their own
subnet. I guess the lesson is to research before purchasing. 8)
