No, but that isn't the hurdle. How to configure my ISP's
Nanostation, to get another PC on, isn't apparent.

You might not have to do anything more than plug a switch in between
the computer currently connected to the nano, and the nano's PoE
brick (the "LAN" side). Typically nanostations can provide DHCP for
a small number of clients connected in this way (say 5-10 or so).

Best approach would probably be to check with the ISP though -- they
might need you to use a router between the nanostation and your
LAN.

A switch doesn't look like it would get me anywhere else. The
nanostation already has a 2nd, unused ethernet port. For, e.g. a camera.
I'll just get a router, but I want 300+ foot range and I don't know if a
nanostation even is a router. A very narrow beam, in one direction.
Where are all the LAN jacks? Seems to be overly specialized.

An amusing story.
Arlen showed up once in a Linux group, complaining that Ubuntu's
installer wouldn't let him put the OS on the drive where he wanted it.
His HD had plenty of unused space, but that crummy installer just would
not let him use it. Turned out his entire disk was already partitioned
up and formatted and given to Windows. Arlen was intending to install
Ubuntu into C:\ because, well, it wasn't full, so why not?
