I just recently picked up 39 computers from a police auction for $2.

My goal is to setup a lab on a sub-network of my home network. If I had wired access it would be easy... however I do not so here is the current situation:

DSL line -----> DSL Modem/Router(Wireless) * * * * * * * (in Room A)

However I am in Room B - And what I want to do is create a WIRED (ethernet) sub-network in this room by bridging the DSL Modem/Router to my own router in Room B (in this case Linksys WRT54GX4).

But I still want to maintain wireless access for computers wishing to connect to the DSL Modem/Router. My goal of this will be able to setup the lab on the Linksys Router wired, with maybe one or two connecting wireless for testing purposes (ARP, etc).

END GOAL:
DSL line -----> DSL Modem/Router(Wireless) * * * * * * * <---Linksys----> computers (Wired)

Hope that made sense

Thanks for the post Cutaway, going to work on going through those links now. However I might add, my dad is thinking about adding another DSL line for my room because I use up all the bandwidth, hehe, so if so problem solved.. we'll see. Anyone know offhand if Qwest offers discounts for second lines?

Network is going great so far, I have 2 computers running Ubuntu, 1 on SuSE, 1 on Mandriva, 1 on Win2k, one on 2003 Datacenter Server, 1x OSX, .. think thats it for victims (I am using BT2 as my attack machine atm). Fedora, XP and a few others will come along tomorrow.
