>From what I understand the P2P blocking to be, is actually Peer-2-Peer blocking. What that means is that when you have two wireless client connected to the same controller they will not be able to talk to each other (ie. Windows file sharing). If the clients are on two different controllers then it doesn't matter and you will be able to share the files between the clients. Being connected to two different access points doesn't matter as long as both access points are on the same controller then P2P blocking will work.

In other words, say AP1 is connected to WiSM controller A and AP2 is connected to WiSM controller B. Peer-to-peer blocking works on a per controller basis today, so clients connected to AP1 would be able to communicate with clients connected to AP2. - Jake On 1/16/07 11:51 PM, "Anthony Croome" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Has anyone out there had problems with peer to peer blocking on the WISMs WLAN controllers? I originally enabled it on the two controllers, and I thought it worked. But now it doesn't seem to be working as I can happily scan away and see other wireless clients and connect to their ports. It is definitely enabled, I checked the WCS gui, each controllers GUI and each controller CLI. And they all report Peer to Peer blocking is enabled. I am running release 4.0.179.11 on the controllers.
