Hello -

I've got the following setup, an Airport connected to a switch which is then connected to two other computers and the router.

I am trying to get one of the hardwired computers to act as a second access point so that the whole house would be covered. I've gotten as far as making an utility that will stick the airport card in basestation mode without using the internet sharing (which makes the connection NAT'd which I don't want)

I just want to get the computer to bridge and I can't seem to figure out how to manage this.

Here is the program that I wrote (source)

There on the function that sets the computer in Base Station mode, there is one parameter that I couldn't lable as I don't know what it does.

Hopefully someone can help me with this.
