Calling network gurus: complicated setup (two diff networks at once)

[TheWart]

Alright AT network geniuses, I need some help. I am trying to setup a wifi network for some friends who are currently sans Internet in their business.

Here is the current setup:
-Some Dell poweredge server
-a Dell powerconnect 16 port (about 10 in use) wired 10/100/1000 router

Now, they have no internet because the telcos have not expanded out there. Their only internet option is Clearwire, which they just got. Now, of the 10 comps, they only want the 2 computers used by the owners to have internet access. Is it possible to hook a wireless router up to the Clearwire modem and stick a wifi pci card in the two comps? Will this require them to manually disable/enable the wired network? In other words, can their win XP machines be on the intranet and the wifi/Clearwire network at the same time?

That post isnt really clear what you are trying to do, can you explain a little better?

clear sells a modem/router dealio dude. just plug it in and go.

are you trying to use the usb option? that is less optimal. but doable. usually you get one base station and one mobile usb option for like 50-60 a month.

There are many ways to restrict internet access.

This is the most basic network setup there is. If it can't be figured out, you should hire a consultant. It shouldn't take a competant consultant more than 15 minutes to set this up, though most usually have a one hour minimum.
