Connecting Two LANS with a Wireless link

[Giovanni Degani]

Hi!
Thank you by wour respose.

My biggest concern is with the clients on the other side, behind the
linux box ( wired lan )
If i use ad-hoc mode they will be able to normally access the lan on the
other side ( windows shares and etc) ?


Thank you once more.
