X-List-Unsubscribe: Send email to mailusers-request@2rosenthals.com X-List-Owner: mailusers-owner@2rosenthals.com A bridge is a device that converts from one type of media to another. I use the Linksys WET11 wireless to wire bridge in my workshop and connec= t it to my hub. In the house I use a Access Point which is connected to = the hub in the house. So the Access Point and Bridge connect the two wir= ed networks together. You could just as easily use a bridge on each workstation that= has a regular Cat 5 network card and no drivers are required. Check this URL for more info http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=3D602&scid=3D36 Other manufactures make these type of devices as well.
