That is sort of what I have now. I want to make the wlan use DHCP to 
hook onto these 2 laptops. By creating a vlan on the NetGear wireless 
router like 192.168.1.100 /192.168.120 for instance.

I'm not sure of the way to do it on the NetGear wireless router. which 
has 192.168.1.1 as its address on the wired lan
