I hope that is clear, but maybe not. Anyway, any suggestions are greatly ap= preciated.

A LinkSys WRT54GL (or another supported wireless router) flashed with DD-WR= T firmware can do exactly what you want (wireless repeater & 4-port wir= ed switch).

See http://www.dd-wrt.c= om for more details.

While on the point of the Linksys WRT54 - does it have VPN capabilities ?

Sorry I should have added, with an OS/2 compatible client.
