I think it would depend on the firewall capabilities you have.
Which firewall are you using?

Thanks for the help so far guys. Yeah, the channel sounds fine and will
block the two wireless networks from each other, but at some point both
wireless networks will hit a hub and then be able to see each other.
The only thing I can imagine working is to keep them on two separate IP
address ranges, (ie. 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x) and using different hubs
until they reach the broadband connection. If I can then use one of
those Ethernet splitters to take inputs from two sources it might work.
Each network could then end in a firewall/router that point to the same
broadband connection. I'm just not sure whether they would then be able
to see each other ....
Any help gratefully received!

the other channel would still be connected to the regular lan. The
other computers are connected to the regular lan too. You have to look
at it like you would a hub. How would you put two groups of people on
hubs and have one group be blind to the other. You really can't, you
have to put them on a different network.

I haven't got much experience with wireless networks, but could
you use seperate channels? Perhaps have the office running on channel 1,
and the delegates on channel 11?
This should effectively block them from seeing each other - and
it leaves plenty of room between the channels to try and eliminate
overlap.

Apologies if this is slightly OT.
At one site, we have a wireless (802.11b) bridge
connecting two buildings, sharing an internet connection. We have been
asked to also provide wireless internet access to delegates who attend
conferences. Obviously we can do this fairly easily (and cheaply) with
something like the Network ME102 Access Point and MA111 USB adaptors.
The problem is this - how do we ensure that delegates
cannot browse to any of the computers on the network? There is no Win2k
server at this location, just 10 Win2k & XP PCs connected to a
Workgroup. Workgroup security is bad, so I really want to find a path
to the broadband connection that blocks the office PCs.
The only idea I have at the moment is to split the RJ45
that goes into the broadband connection into two - one for the office
and one for the delegates. Would this stop each segment seeing each
other?
Thanks in advance
Kevin
