[GLLUG] Wireless / Wired question

[Gary Holbrook]

Well...are they connected directly together, or is there an intervening
network?  Is there a good reason to use two firewalls instead of a pair of
switches?  Does each endpoint have only one SMB server, or are there multiple
servers?

It sounds like you might really want a set of routers instead of "firewall"
routers.  If you can disable NATting, you're in better shape.  What model
devices are you using?
