[WT-support] Networking question: Internet from separate WiFi

[Mark Bailey]

You will probably have better luck with switches.  I would avoid any use of hubs.  You PROBABLY have switches.

There are many ways to do it but this may be the simplest: Use a USB WiFi stick to have your spare PC connect to the hotel's WiFi network. Then configure tcp/ip on that pc's wired ethernet adapter to connect with your WiFi hub and connect to the WiFi hub with a UTP5 cable. If you need a suitable hub you can borrow one from me. And as you say you have to run the WinTest Telnet client properly configured on the spare PC.

I will be setting up a Win-Test network for our CQWW multi-multi entry in a couple of weeks time
and have a question about configuration of the network.

The WT PCs will be networked via a WiFi hub that does not have an internet connection.

I’m hoping that WiFi Internet will be available in the hotel and I want to use a spare PC to
establish a Cluster connection (via WTTelnet) to feed into the other network.

Can this be done? If so, how?

The PCs will be running a mix of XP and W7.

Thanks
