wireless "bridge"

I have a gap between where we sit and game, and my "office" I was curious if theres a way to brige a wireless connection from one location to another. ie a wireless router in one location and how to you get a wired section in another short of sharing a network connection on a system.

Can you do a bit better job of explaining what you are trying to do? Are you saying you have 2 networks......1 of which is wired and 1 is wireless and you want to connect them?

Sounds like 2 wired networks with an air gap.

Best solution I've found is power line network adapters. An alternate is using bridging in XP or Vista to bridge the wireless to the local wired network, but that's usually a pain and depends on a machine staying up.

Well you could just go wireless everywhere and use this:

From my experiences, these work great.

basically I have a gap and was curious how to set my network up to where the smaller office network could share the same class c subnet. I presently have 2 different networks with an xp box running the gap, however it really limits my ability to share the multifunction office / printer/fax unless its running on the "bridge" system. I was thinking of something to help gear up for a lab of sorts.

anyway, the power network adapter looks incredible.
