[TriLUG] All in one wireless access point/router question

[Tanner Lovelace]

Here's a question for both Jason and Jeremy.  Where is the wireless
network in relation to the wan and internal lan?  Is it on the internal
lan, or is it possible to put it on a DMZ network that is between the 
two (i.e. can access the wan, but not the internal lan unless you 
specify it that way?  If so, then that would be really cool.

Cheers,
Tanner

 This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source
