[FreeGeek] Linux Routing Help

[Joseph LeBlanc]

Hey guys,

Just hoping there's a linux routing guru out there that can give me a hand.
I'm having some trouble setting up a wireless card in my slackware linux
router. The router uses NAT to share internet access with all the pc's on my
wired network. I added a pci wireless card because I'd like to also make
this pc into an access point so that my laptop can wirelessly access the
internet and my other pc's on the wired network. 

I've got the card installed fine, and the drivers, and the hostapd daemon
setup and running ok, and I configured my dhcp server to listen on both the
wired and wireless interfaces. The laptop (running WinXP) can connect to the
wireless network and obtain an ip from the dhcp server but it can't access
the internet or any pc's on the network (and those pc's can't access the
laptop). I think I'm just missing some routing configuration step. So
essentially I'm trying to bridge the wired and wireless networks and keep
all clients on the same subnet.

I don't want to fill the freegeek discussion list with tech support emails
so it would be best if you email me directly at unixd0od at hotmail.com

Thanks!

Joe,
