The first part of this amy not seem to be an XP issue. However, I will get to
the point.
My problem is this, I am working at a University in China. I want to be able
to connect to the internet with my iBook (running OS x) and my wifes Toshiba
(running XP). At the present, I can only connect with the university
computer, in my appartment, that is running XP professional.
I brought my AirPort with me. However, even when I put in all of the IP
settings, I still can not connect to the Internet. I believe that this is due
to a authentication program that is running on the university supplied pc.
The PC is running a program called, "Ruijie Supplicant." I believe that this
program supplies password authentication to the server.
What I want to do is to leave the university computer connected to the LAN,
and add a second NIC to it. I then want to connect that NIC to the AirPort
(wireless router) and use the airport to connect my personal computers. Doing
this should send the traffic through the university PC that has authenticated
itself with the Ruijie Supplicant program, to the airport, to my laptop.
Will this work? I will want to use a different range on the second nic and
the wireless network so that it is not easly visible to the rest of the
campus, do I manually set the second NIC or let the DHCP from the router feed
in to it (the NIC connected to the campus is using a fixed IP)?
The reason for not just adding a wireless NIC to teh PC is that I can not
find a wireless NIC. I have asked and WiFi is legal here, it is just not very
common. Any other help would be appreciated.
