HOTSPOT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION - 3NETWORK CARDS..

Hi good people of this wonderful house -

I will be going on site to provide a hotspot billing solution. in order for the management to control their wireless link without changing the wep or any other security option like always.

this is my plan -

I suggested to my self to use Antamedia hotspot software which most of us are kinda familiar with. we all knw how the connection is done - www.antamedia.com/kbase/knowledge-hs.htm

my question might not really make sense but i want to use 3NIC on my main system.

NIC1 - WILL CONNECT THE MAIN SYSTEM TO THE INTERNET MODEM

NIC2 - WILL CONNECT THE SWITCH (DLINK 24 PORT) TO THE MAIN SYSTEM.

NIC3 - WILL CONNECT THE ALREADY LINKSYS WIRELESS N ROUTER (WHICH I WILL BYPASS THE ETHERNET PORT SO IT ACTS AS AN AP SINCE THE MAIN SYSTEM WILL DO THE DHCP).

Please i need suggestions.

NOTE
the reason for this is that i dont want the hotspot web portal page that blocks users and request them to log-in to appear on systems connected via lan (tru the switch) <though i knw that the systems mac addresses could be placed on the hotspot software as a watch list in such a way that they are always connected>.


On NIC3 i will configure the hotspot software to act on the static ip address for that interface. (since nic2 - 192.168.0.1, then nic3 - 192.168.0.2.....) so on the hotspot interface that is the interface in which its to act on will be nic3.


People of this wonderful house i just hope someone flows along and gives me ideassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss x2.

i have seen where there were 3NIC on a system same connection but different OS in that scenario the Net Admin was running freeBSD and cos of this hotspot software i have to use Windows. i hope ICS will work well..


Please hit me back with breath taking ideas and suggestions and etc...


cheers people...
