Advance wireless configuration help

Question

I have just moved to a new apartment. My cowork who lives in the same apartment complex as me has let me use his wireless connection. I already have a broadband router. How can I configure it to use his wireless signal but also keep my network private from his? Can I add a bridge or repeater to the WAN port?

Disable File and Printer Sharing and make sure no drives or folders are designated as shared resources. Steve

If you really have a need to have your own router setup (instead of having each machine use his router), then ask him to set your router in the DMZ zone of his.  That way you'll at least have a prayer of decent internet connectivity.  Double NATS are not an ideal situation.
