I have a office across from my yard. It has my linksys router in it. The router is wireless. I have an alfa card to connect to my wireless router.
I want to use 'server3' and plug in my usb alfa card. Then, output the data and share the internet with an ethernet cable going to a router. Can I do that?
So, basically, server3 will be connected to linksys, and it will share the linksys connectivity with a router.
Is it possible?
Jump to PostIt sounds like what you want to do is bridge the connections. Not all wireless cards support this. What is the operating system on server3?

windows xp Pro. I can put Linux on it, if it's easier. The card is an Alfa AWUS036H with an 9gBi antenna
Here is a step by step document from microsoft to enable it.
