Re: Novice : how to stretch wireless network?

[Maximillian Murphy <m@de-minimis.co.uk>]

My setup is as follows:


> Wide world.

connected to

> Router A
with settings including:
DNS server= various dns servers belonging to my telecommunications company

connected to:

LAN
(big pool of switches, wireless gear and cables)
with each machine on the LAN configured thus:
Gateway= Router A
DNS server = Router A



So.. there's a level of indirection in the DNS.  You could do the same 
on your system:

Your LAN -->your linux machine-->neighbour's DNS server --> wide world

or you could have

Your LAN -->your linux machine-->wide world (just using your neighbour's 
machine as a gateway)


So from the DNS perspective there's no problem.

How are you going to allocate IP addresses on your and your neighbour's LAN?
