Since I have some time available at work (not many orders since the business is going to close in several months), I would like to do some private jobs while being at the office sitting at my desk.
The problem: IT guys and my boss.
I have a laptop (given by the employer - a Lenovo) and a private laptop (Toshiba).
I would like to hide from my boss' eyes the private laptop.
That is why, initially I have used a cable from Lenovo to Toshiba, and Toshiba was in my roller box. I have been used remote access from Lenovo using UltraVNC (Toshiba the server).
Now, I would like to upgrade to a small wireless network and forget about cables (somebody has saw my cable from the desk to my roller box and I am afraid will go to my boss and explaining something that I do not desire).
Constraints:
1) Lenovo has the wireless deactivated by Windows Domain Group Policy (I guess) since I tried to enable it without success (even though I have admin priviledges on Lenovo).
2) the LAN at work is setup based on MAC (of my Lenovo), any device that has the MAC differrent than the MACs from Active Directory is not recognised, therefore it cannot be connected to workplace's LAN.
3) Internet at work goes through proxy server, so I cannot use it for private stuff because IT guys monitor internet access, but instead I would use the GSM internet on PC (Toshiba) given by my local GSM provider that has an acceptable internet connection speed.
4) IT software that I use on Lenovo is monitored by IT guys. Although I have admin rights to install any software, I am not going to install software that is not compliant with company's policies (UVNC is allowed).
5) I would like - when working for the employer - to simply plugin the UTP cable that is connecting Lenovo to the workplace LAN, but in the rest of time I can plugout that cable and have in place a wireless network to my Toshiba laptop (Toshiba I will place in my handbag that is at my feets and only a AC power will be visible, but not so visible - I can take this risk). I want to use also UVNC. That is why, I need a speedy connection (at least equal to my cable connection, i.e. 100Mbps).
Do you think this is feasible?
I have purchsed a wireless USB adapter (Belkin) that claims o speed over 100 Mbps.
I have planned to use USB wireless adapter to Lenovo, but as long as wireless is deactivated by Group Policy, I have to change my plan.
What else do I need? I though perhaps a high speed wireless router that supports MAC cloning.
So, the configuration I have in mind is: Lenovo (keeping the IP provided by the IT guys at work) connected through LAN to the high speed wireless router and further on it will go wireless to Belkin wireless adapter plugged in to USB of Toshiba.
What do you think? Is it going to work this configuration?

that perhaps my thread is not in the right place, but I cannot do much.
