Don't know about H323, but I haven't found a VPN that it causes problems with yet. There are not many protocols left that won't survive NAT. Given that most users sit behind NAT routers these days. Sam Tetherow Sandhills Wireless John J. Thomas wrote: One to One NATing is good except

One to One NATing is good except that it breaks H.323, and would limit VPN usage. Yes, there are Businesses that do Netmeeting and other H.323 applications as well as VPNs. JT >-Original Message- >From: Mark McElvy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 04:07 PM >To:

I am currently using WRAP/StarOS for APs, routing back to a StarOS Head end router that is doing the shaping. I am a fan of centralized administration, I use MAC/Radius Auth for the SOS APs, but Atheros radios do not support this.   Mark McElvy AccuBak Data Systems, Inc. Salem, MO 573-

That is correct on the Tranzeo AP's, but, I'm considering replacing the TR-6000's I have with RB532's to give me more flexibility, and give true bandwidth shaping at the AP instead of at my headend.     - Original Message - From: Mark McElvy To: WISPA General List S

In the end I feel routed is better because you grow, a bridged network will get loud (lots of overhead traffic).   You manage the CPE in a routed network just as you do now. What maybe you see is the difference between true routes and NAT routes. With true routes there is a path to and fr

In my network I assign a private IP to the CPE and a 'similar' IP to the customer. For instance if I assign 10.1.1.100 to the customer then I assigned 10.101.1.100 to the CPE. Easy to remember the CPE address given the customers IP. Each AP gets it's own class C. I then do 1 to 1 NAT at the

Ok, this may be a simple question, but I'm trying to figure the best way to do this.  My wireless network is currently all bridged with three different POP's (all statically assigned private IP's).  I'm getting requests for public IP addresses and as I add more clients, I feel like I'm reall

We usually get the Netgear WGR614 - sometimes refurbished. If you disable DHCP it's essentially a Wireless AP bridge like what you're wanting. You can usually pick these up for around $15-20 online, depending on bulk. I think we got some in bulk for about $16 each and their wired counterpart fo
