Nope, you are not crazy, this is entirely doable... You just need to make sure your routing gets handled properly at both ends... (On a system, when I would plug into the wired network, but leave my wireless up, I would send my wireless traffic out the wired interface, because of the new default route, and receive the responses via wireless. Just a modified version of what you talk about.) -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
