Hello, I am glad the forums are still up. So here is what I have. we
have a sbs 2003 setup that is running a single nic with standard. We
want to give wireless access to our guests without the guests accessing
our network.

Here is our setup.

Dlink Router --- wireless for business
|
|
SBS 2003


now could we just do this?

Yes you can, you just need internet connected to the dlink router, and
then the SBS server and both wireless devices connected into the
router.

You aren't actually separating the two sets of traffic, but guests
would be unable to access any resources on the server as they wouldn't
have valid credentials.

HOWEVER.....you are still open to guests using things like WireShark
or Etheral to snoop your traffic, and they could still access
resources by IP address (network pritners etc)

A better solution would be to get a wireless access point that
supports multiple SSIDs, so you have one for public and oe for staff,
and most that offer multiple SSIDs allow you to say that one cannot
see the other. Some devices also offer Wireless Data Separation (WDS),
meaning that a wireless device cannot see any other wireless device.

Or get a device which allows different VLANs to be set up, so that
traffic from the public VLAN cannot see any otehr VLAN's traffic.


Just some ideas.
