Hi,

I have setup at home a small network (3com ADSL router, WAP 11 and 3 PCs with WLAN).
It works ok.

I would like to organize a public hot spot with some minimum control that nobody will enter my own LAN with the 3 PCs...
In short I would like my 3 pcs to be connected on some kind of a private hot spot while having some public hot spot allowing access to internet on my adsl line...

Any recommendation on where I could find some infos on the possible configurations to get this properly organized?

Thanks in advance,

thefa

Its a risky thing to invite passing people to connect to the edge of your LAN but prevent them coming further. I would not do it unless you use a physically separate AP on a different subnet to your LAN.

Equally important is to check your ISP T&Cs since it it likely you are breaching the law to share your connection with others.
