Hello,

I currently have a laptop that gets its IP address on the wired
ethernet using DHCP. I will like to be able to do access this wired
ethernet remotely -- without physically plugging it into the ethernet
jack everytime. An access point will work, but it will need an IP
address of its own, in addition to making itself available to others.
I looked at wireless-to-ethernet bridges, and all that I could find
require an IP address as well.

Conceptually, all I am looking for is an extended long cable, except
just that I want to have it wireless. I don't want to change any
configuration -- like that required to support DHCP for the WAP etc,
nor do I want to make any device I may add available or visible to
others. The packets should ideally just be forwarded from the ethernet
connection to my wireless card, and vice-versa.

Does anyone have any advice on any specific bridge or device which may
do this? Or any way I can do this?

Thanks a lot!
Arvind
