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

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
