THAT DID IT!
Now I want to configure the router as outlined in:
http://www.shorewall.net/two-interface.htm#Wireless
I have instructions from AirLink101 on how to configure the router. They are:
http://www.airlink101.com/support/index.php?cmd=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&id=43
My last question is do I leave the ifconfig eth2 file as DHCP or does it need to
change? My gut feel at this point is that it should remain as DHCP. Current
content of /etc/network/interfaces for eth2 is:
iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto eth2
THANKS Y'all,
Jay
