Wireless home LAN

Hooha! I've got a wireless network running at home now, as I got a bunch of new toys today, and this is my first post from my now wireless iBook. Top! I can just open the laptop and do what I want to do.

I had to be a bit sneaky though. I've added a wireless USB adapter to my server in the attic that acts as a router for all my other PCs by using Windows' internet connection sharing. However, with ICS you can only share the internet connection between one network, and not via the 2nd network on the wireless network adapter. So I added a proxy server for the wireless network, and all works peachily. The ICS is still up, and I only have to configure one computer to use the proxy instead of all of them.
