Here is the current Setup, DSL line comming in to office connected to a Linkys Router then the Router connected to 3Com switch to share out the connection with the stations attached to it. We want to be able to allow clients to come into our office Conference Room and be able to use a Wireless Network connection to access the Internet only. We do not want them to have access to our local Intranet, only want them to be able to access the Internet only. Can this be accomplished someway? Also we do not want to use any WEP, is this a bad ideal? We wanted to use something like MAC filtering only to allow access to the Wireless Network. I guess my main question is it possible to have the Wireless connections only have access to the Internet and not the company Intranet.

Thank you for your time in advance.
 
No encryption is a bad idea.

For the other issue, connect your AP to the DMZ then create a rule on the firewall to disalow any traffic from the IP range on your AP into your network. This will give guests access to only the internet.
