Hello,
I am attempting to help a small business whose network designer is no longer around to answer questions. The network is peer-to-peer (all clients are Win XP), and covers two buildings with three SSIDs. Building #A has two SSIDs supported by a single router (DD-WRT). SSID #1 is secure, and consists of 3 wired PCs and 2 wireless laptops (DHCP 192.168.1.200-250). SSID #2 has no security and is open to guests (DHCP 192.168.5.1-50). SSID #3 (static IPs 192.168.1.1-100) is in building #B, and is connected by a wireless Ubiquity system to Building #A. The network designer’s documentation indicates he tunneled (SSH) from PCs and laptops on SSID #1 to the various IP addresses on SSID #3 (wireless access point, wireless printer). This would prevent any guests on SSID #2 from eavesdropping on communications between SSIDs #1 and #3. I do not see any indication of PuTTY installations on SSID #1. In order to implement SSH, do I install PuTTY on the clients in SSID #1? When configuring PuTTY, should I use internal IP addresses or external for destinations on SSID #3?
