Hi all, We are planning to use LEAF Bering to provide shared Internet access to a whole home area. The Internet access will be provided by a 4Mb radiofrecuency access to SKN. Internally, all the users will use wireless devices to access a wireless bridge then the firewall the internet. All users will have a public IP all in the same IP range.
OK, this is quite easy to setup, and its allready done (with QoS too). The problem comes when we want to do it in a more privatelly way. I dont know yet how the wirelles access point behaves as we have been contracted just for the "firewall side" but if we can, we would like to protect users form each other even if that device does it too. The main reason is we dont know yet if the wireless device is capable of rouing a packet form one user to the other user or it has to go through the firewall. In the second case is quite easy, as we would just set up the corresponding firewall rules to separate the different users. The problem comes if this device has "more intelligence" and tries to send the package by itself. Is more or less the same situation cable providers have but in wireless. We have tried o asign a 255.255.255.255 netmask but it doesnt work (funn with ppp it does work). Any ideas? Please remember to use the fewer IP as possible as we have to pay for them :( The first choice was to provide by DHCP pairs of IP that with the correct mask make a 2 computer network but this uses a lot of IP and forces as to set uo the firewall with a lot of virtual IP in the internall interface. Any other idea?
