How to configure my home LAN

[keymoo]

Hi there,

I have 6 PCs at home, and have them all connected to a Netgear DG834G wireless ADSL modem. Some PCs are connected directly, others via wireless. The current topology is:

ADSL Router-->Home LAN

One of my PCs is an Ubuntu server running squid and dansguardian and I'd like to configure the network as follows:

ADSL Router-->ubuntu-server-->Gigabit wireless switch-->Home LAN

The bit that's missing is the gig wireless switch. Do such things exist? If not how else can I configure the network? I need it to be gigabit because the ubuntu server is running BackupPC and throws around a lot of data.

Any insights appreciated!

I will be connecting 4 machines to the switch and 2 will be wireless, but this may change. Could you explain your configuration a bit more? Thanks for the reply.

Problem with that config is that I don't get a transparent proxy - I'd ideally like that. So, I guess from the lack of responses, there is no such thing as a wireless switch. I find that odd because all ADSL routers are essentially that with an ADSL modem bundled in.

I guess I could do it with a gig switch and an AP, but then that's two boxes when, ideally I'd like one. Thanks for the replies.
