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
