I'm trying to setup wireless networking from building to building and needed a little help. Currently I have a linksys BEFW11S4 which is a wireless router. My internet connection comes into the router and the computers get dhcp addresses from their. What I need to know is what kind of a device I need in the smaller building and what mode it needs to run in. I think I need a wireless access point/bridge running in point to point mode. I want the wireless device in the smaller building to get a dhcp signal from the main router in the large building and then attach to a switch to go to all the other computer in the building. Basically I want the computers in the small building to be able to authenicate to a server in the large building. The distance between the buildings is about 100ft with no obstacles. Any help with this project would be great.

Thanks,
Scott

You could probably get this distance without needing anything extra, maybe a slightly better antenna, the real question is do you want to open up your network to anyone walking past or not. If you don't care then you are probably right to go just set up a pc in the other building with a wireless card and a wired card and a bit of basic routing should sort you out.

If you want to protect the connection then you need to look at something like FreeS/WAN.
