in certain situations, yes

if you are bridging everything, no
theoretically, if you correctly route at your unlimited satellite, so the
Single SOHO(Base)Grid only sees the MAC address of the router (e.g.,
(Grid)Unlimited Satellite), than it should work (this is theoretical b/c
I've never done this, but it should work)

if you're bridging at the (Grid)Unlimited Satellite - you may run into
problems
>What about this? Notice the switch instead of the Crossover:
>Omni (ISP Base) < - > (Grid)Unlimited Satellite --Switch-- Single
>SOHO(Base)Grid< - > Grid Single SOHO(Satellite) -- Computer

no

really depends on how your network is setup - another option would be to put
a Linksys Router b/n the (Grid)Unlimited Satellite & SingleSOHO(Base)
>Will that work or do I just need to place another Unlimited Satellite where

if you're going to bridge, it's probably easiest to use an unlimite
satellite (SR-4200)

I understand
