Hi, its been awhile since I posted.

Im looking to setup a wireless network in my house and need some help choosing the right products/devices to use.

At the moment the house is networked using BNC in a bus topology (10base2). I want to keep this as the cables are laid and this connection goes to another building outside.

On the network there are a couple of computers and a computer acting as a server.

The server is running win2k and shares a connection to isdn, shortly moving to adsl when it arrives in the area. It also has a network card which is connected to the ethernet.

So what im looking for is a wireless device, be it an AP or wireless router (not sure the difference between those) which I can connect to the server so I can share the internet connection like I have done on the wired network. The signal needs to go about 100 metres(through walls).

Im confused how I can intergrate it into my legacy ethernet. How do you connect the AP to the existing network(the server)? USB? RJ45?

Thanks.
