Wired to Wireless bridge on a laptop to share a connected printer....How?

Asked by yet_another_jash in Wireless Networking, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters, Wireless Local Area Network

Tags: wireless, bridge, wired, printer, laptop

I wish to connect an XP laptop to a wireless network (no problem there, I'm thinking!), but - using its wired network port - I also want to connect to an ethernet connected printer copier (also no problem). But what do I have to do in order to make the printer/copier appear to clients that are also on the wireless network?

I imagine that there is some component that is required to bridge (if that's the right term) or route packets between the wireless and wired networks. Is this correct? How do I achieve this?Start Free Trial
