Question : WiFi repeater

I'd like to build a repeater out of an old laptop and some extra wifi gear kicking around the house. This is my idea ... any input would be appriciated.
1. Install WiFi NIC
2. Install 10/100 NIC
3. Setup WiFi on laptop
4. Plug 10/100 into WAN on WiFi router
5. Disable DHCP

6. Proxy server? Bridge WiFi + 10/100?  <<-- this is where it might get a little tricky...

Answer : WiFi repeater

Again, I think I read somewhere that you couldn't in Windows 2000 (at least without 3rd paryt software), and a few minutes of poking around on the internet and in a Win2000 server box didn't turn up anything.  Can anybody confirm this?

You could use Internet Connection Sharing to accomplish this setup.  The wireless NIC going back to your network could be the "Internet Connection" and the secondary NIC (the repeater) could be set as a gateway, and pump out DHCP.  The downside to this is while wireless devices would be able to access IP's on your wired network, the devices on your wired network would not be able to access IP's on the wireless network (or at least on the other side of what is now becoming a Repeater/Router).  Or you could throw the proxy server or a third party NAT/router software back into the mix.  Don't you just love MacGyver networking :).

Oh, and you do know that (if your access point is compatible) for about $80 you can pick up a Dlink wireless range extender (DWL-G800P).
