Hi,
For various reasons I'm unable to get any form of wired internet
connection where I live, but an ISP in my area offers wireless broadband. They only offer one form of hardware installation
which is the Linksys WET-11 ethernet bridge. This is all good and
fine, however what I already have my own adhoc wireless network and I am planning to get a wireless VoIP phone and don't wish to have a computer turned on to be able to use the phone (phones to do this exist). I would also like to be able to
have a firewall between, the net and my system. Whatever I choose will probably need to allow VPN through.
This is where my knowledge falls down.
How share a wireless internet connection on a wireless private network, and adding a degree of safety with a firewall, and prefably not having to use a computer.
PS. I don't have to buy any equipment from the ISP, if I do the equipment setup myself. Which I may fumble a bit but I always get there in the end.
TIA.
