setup an isolated wireless network
"CAMC1" <webmaster[ at ]ozoptics.com> 09.07.2007 20:49:03
Hi,

I have a class B network, which has 1 firewall to access internet.

I want to setup a wireless network which will be used by anyone to access
internet, but here is my problem.
I have no choice to plug wireless router to my network, (can't plug it in
to switch outside firewall due to location) to allow it to access internet.
- I don't want wireless users who will be accessing this router, to see or
access my class B network to obtain IP address, or see any resources on my
network

I will configure wireless router to access my LAN (give router static IP,
and define default gateway to access internet)
Define class C subnet for wireless users and have them obtain different IP
address range.
Then put the wireless router into confined area.

How secure would this setup be, against viruses, warm and or hackers.
(Anyone's laptop who may be infected by worm or pest, i don't want them have
any impact on my LAN)

Thanks
MC
