Just a question for those that may have attempted this. I am going to be trying to set up a m0n0 box with a wireless card in order to access my free, but authenticated university wireless. I am in the fringe wireless range of the university and it would be beneficial to be able to connect to the university or my provider (cable internet is always going out and there are some things that we have to be on campus to have access). I would like to see if monowall could help me out here. 1) I believe that this is possible, but can a monowall with a wireless card use wireless as the WAN? 2) If yes, then can I connect to a PPTP connection as part of that WAN connection? 3) Can I then NAT computers behind the wireless connection (the computers are connected via the ethernet ports)? I see PPTP as a connection method for the WAN. but in the docbook this is specified as a "PPTP ADSL connection". What happens at my university is you connect wirelessly and get an "internal" 172.address. Once you log into an accessible PPTP server, you can then access the rest of the university network and beyond. I'm not sure what the "local IP address" and "remote IP address" fields would be set to or if these fields would work for this. I'm not actually there until mid-august, so I can't actually test it, but thought it would be nice to know if sourcing the parts is worth a shot. Thanks! Aaron |
