Setting UP a Access Point for Gateway


Hi...

I am new into Red Hat and Linux...so please understand

Ok,here is my senario: I have a AP,a masjiene with Red Hat 9,and extra LAN network card.I want to setup this PC as a Wireless GATEWAY....so that the AP is connected to the Linux PC,and then my PC connected to the linux PC VIA UTP Cable(Normal LAN)

Example: The Wireless IP RANGE is 192.168.69.?? - 192.168.69.255
The internet gatewat IP is 192.168.69.2.

I want to cofigure the AP to be on the range above,and then i want Redhat to use the internal network card as a DHCP server to assign a IP address to my Windows PC. I also want internet access btw.

I know i must use routes and bla bla....please help me to configure this....i know it's not that much of a hassle,i mean,linux is easy (Joke)

Ok...so if you want to help me...please do.
Thnx A Lot!!!!

mmmm,ok...let me try again.

I have a Business with ADSL internet. I have a Bridge PC at work(Windows XP) which bridges my local area network at work,with my wireless network at home. I already have all the antenas and i am currently working on the internet throuth my Wireless Acess Point. Now...what i want to do is: I have a spair computer with Red Hat linux 9 on.....so i want to use it as a gateway between my local netwerk at home,and my wireless network to the work...It works like this:

I connect the Access Point VIA a network kabel to my hub at home....then i want to configure linux to use the Wireless Access point to get access to my ADSL internet at work. Then i also want internet on my WindowsXP PC,sins the Access Point arent connected to it anymore(Becuase its connected to the linux PC),i want Linux to assign a Local IP address to my WindowsXP masjien(ip mascalading) so that i can work on the ineternet at home.So tyhe linux PC is my Gateway,and also a fairly firewall,becuase any pc on the net won't see my IP address,if will se the linux masjiens IP Adress?Does this make any sense?...
