Something else you may want to consider if your

IMHO the OPZ would be functioning as what I think are commonly called
"gaming adapters".? It functions as the wireless client to connect the
wired Ethernet client.
Don't know a thing about gaming and never wanted to--wrong generation, I
guess.
In Linux terminology, it's a "bridge connection". Very simple to set up:

You could probably do the same thing with dnsmasq and iptables.
More than one way to skin a cat.
I think there's also a port of ddwrt for the OPZ, so you could also use
that. A lot more horsepower in any case than the Win98 box (quad-core
1.4GHz ARM, IIRC)
