Rainer,
Good point on the bandwidth thing. I hadn't even thought of that.
Sounds like the best thing to do would be to set up a relay so the
laptop is effectively only serving one client over WiFi.
I sent Kris a long email off list describing additional headaches that
can be expected if he's got to deal with firewalls and such. Using a
relay, though, may simplify issues a little.
