Ouch. They are designed as a home office solution, but still... It is a rather large limitation!

I just ran into a HUGE problem with Linksys. Their routers will NOT allow a class B subnet. They have a stupid drop-down box that stops at class C. I called their tech support and basically got a "Yup, it is designed for small networks." I don't care what size network it is designed for. If I've chosen to number my network on a 10.x.x.x or a 192.168.x.x and used a different octet in the 3rd position for several of my machines to differentiate departments, I'm screwed unless I renumber the machines into a class C.

I personally like Linksys - they are now owned by Cisco (for some
time now).
They do not have as many features as some other brands, and their
Web GUI is
again not as good as some others, but they are standards compliant
and will
operate with other compliant vendors equipment.

Of course I prefer Cisco above all others, but for a short term fix,
go the
Linksys, and when you are done take it home and forget about all
those
wires.

I don't doubt that, but the few sites I looked around for wireless
routers I
know of didn't mention anything or very limited stuff about vpns..

A wireless router will be much simpler - I would personally avoid
the
Netgear as they are not 100% standards compliant.

Could you not fudge it with a wintel box with a wireless card
running as a
nat/rras/vpn gateway stylee thang?

Thanks Jan.  Ideally the hotel can give me a wired external
connection
rather than the 192.168 wireless they have. I still have to stay
compliant
with HIPAA which is why I figure the VPN will work. I will check
out the
Linksys if it comes to that.

Thanks!

Greg, the netgear 802.11g devices do routing and bridging.

My company runs residential communities for the elderly and nursing
homes in
Florida. One of them is in Port Charlotte which took a direct shot
from
hurricane Charley on Friday.

Fortunately, all our buildings there are made out of poured concrete
and can
take just about anything a hurricane can dish out. But we did have
some
roof problems, blown out widows, and no power or water. We don't
expect to
have any of this back anytime soon either. Our employees are also
dealing
with their own disasters.  Amazingly, there entire are has no phone
services, no cell services, but our AT&T frame relay is up and
running just
fine and never went down. The terminals we have running on
auxiliary power
are running and connecting just fine.

We are moving all of our residents to a couple nice hotels in Tampa
(Harbor
Island for those who know Tampa) while we straighten out our
location in
Port Charlotte and make it livable again.

This gets fun because I have to set up remote offices at the hotels
for
operations and activities. I have a Watchguard firebox at out main
office
and can easily make a VPN connection with another Watchguard device
at the
hotel. From there, terminals can connect back to my metaframe farm
with no
trouble.

The trick is that the connection available to me is wireless. I am
trying to
find a device (quick) that will bridge the wireless connection
available at
the hotel to my Watchguard as the external connection. Since we
started
this on a Sunday, I have not yet had a chance to ask the IT staff at
the
hotel for a wired connection. I am organizing on a worst case
scenario and
just wanted to get some ideas from everyone.

all ideas greatly appreciated!
Greg
