Thanks for the info, Grumpy. I'm not concerned about the wireless security, it's not a 802.11b system and I can't get service to my pool deck, let alone in a public area. We live in a rural area of a small island. But the info is correct, and you are right, I should have read the howto first.

Since you seem to have had trouble finding it you can look at (one of many online copies of) the howto at HTTP://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO/index.html </grumpy> For wireless connectivity I would also strongly recommend the ipchains patch for the bridging code, so you can do MAC matching on "known" wireless devices and avoid giving folks out on the street full access to your intranet (not without some effort anyway, it's pretty well impossible to stop spoofing on a wireless network). -- Microsoft Windows: Proof that P.T.
