Bridge wired LAN connection and wireless connection... ?

[jon86]

Hi.

The administrator for my church's newly set up office Windows-based network is having major difficulties bridging the wireless and wired LAN connection on the server. The administrator wanted to use the server as an AP for the network (if possible). The server is running Windows Small Business Server 2003 and the bridge connections option does not exist. I heard it was because wireless connections are seen as Internet connections by Windows whereas wired connections are not.

Is this at all possible?


Many thanks.
Jon


EDIT: Hmmm... probably better in Windows sub-forum. Would a mod move it please?

Thanks for the replies.

The administrator set up the server and it was more of a case of "I may as well install a wireless card as they are not that expensive."

All we need the server to do is to bridge the connections, as the router will take care of NAT and DHCP. I guess it might be worth getting an standalone AP.
