Turn Linksys WRT54G into access point
I'll preface this by saying that, although I can build computers and program them, I can't NETWORK them. I'm learning. Here's my current setup:
cable broadband internet (coax to) D-Link cable modem (CAT-5 to) Linksys WRT54G (CAT-5 to) parents' PC and (wireless to) daughters' PC
I want more control over my daughter's computer (monitor websites, AIM discussions) as well as share resources (printer, drive space). I also want to do some home development of web applications. Therefore, I'm building a small file/web server. I would like to do the following:
cable broadband internet (coax to) D-Link cable modem (USB to) file server (CAT-5 to) Linksys WRT54G (CAT-5 to) parents' PC and (wireless to) daughters' PC
Is this possible? If so, what do I have to do to the WRT54G in order to make it a basic access point? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
