Mark,
Thanks for the
reply,
I’d like to see the piccies (they may give me some
ideas!)

OK - won't be

but let's carry on.

This is known as the "Mark Harrison" solution
:-)

Not if you just tape them to the wall. They will degrade
in
UV and
fall
apart.
What I do is run
"white
plastic trunking" down... I have some
piccies, but they're big... if you want me to mail them
to
you, drop
me a note
off-list.

Not really. Mine was done by me, Mrs. H, James Hoye, and
Paul Wootton
of this list,
with
the planning done by Phil Harris.

I don't know about the
Netgears... The 802.11b spec allows the mixing
of bridges and clients (done it with Cisco kit) but the
Netgears may
be
dumb.
