Once again my pesky landlord has axed my brilliant plan to connect my XBox, HTPC and server with the main network due to her "no drilling holes in the floor" policy. Bah, no fun. Anyway, I was thinking about using XP's network bridge to connect the networks via a wireless G card, but the only machine I have that can do that (that doesn't overheat after 18 hours) is the HTPC, which I'd much rather leave as the HTPC exclusively. One of my machines is running Server 2000 and I'm already going to have to set it up as an IPX/SPX router (long, boring, pointless story) and my main router supports RIPv2, so I'm wondering if I can somehow get a similar (if not identical) effect to a network bridge by enabling IP routing with RIPv2 enabled, or some other configuration. Who knows how to do this?
