[CLUE-Tech] AT&T@home and Linux Network

[Tim Russell]

Yep, that's the way you should do it.  You can run a DHCP client
pointing to the @Home side, and a server pointing to the internal side
for ease in setting up internal clients, or you can just hard-code the
internal clients' addresses.

If you leave your Linux box on all the time, this works great, after you
do some setup.  If you want something a bit less power-hungry you might
consider a Linksys or similar firewall appliance.  I have one with a
built-in Wireless Access Point and it works very well and includes the
DHCP server.
