WHy not put a Mikrotik between your managed router
and the wireless network, then you can do anything you want, and build the
routes in radius....

It is a "managed router" - I don't have access. I
can ask ACC to change the configuration though. Can you elaborate on how it
would work? Should the clients use a smaller subnet mask than the
255.255.255.0 in order to send data bound for other clients to the default
gateway? Or does the traffic go that way anyway when client to client
communcation is turned off?
Thanks,
Roger

Why would you want them to see each other at all? If they
need to map a drive, you should still be able to do that using the old
\\ip-address\share

I have a full class C network block so I
install customers with the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and the
default gateway of 12.109.222.1
Works great, except that
clients can see each other's network services etc. Also, if clients
talk to each other, they can do it without going through the bandwidth
throttler, meaning they can tie up the access point. But the access
point (appo) has a feature to disable client to client communications.
Great. Except now clients can't see each other at all.
I was of
the understanding that if client to client communications was disabled
at the AP that the traffic would be sent back to the router, and the
router would send it back out of the access point and out to the
client. It doesn't work this way.
I was wondering why not and
how I could make this work. Is there a configuration in the router
that could be set to allow this? It's a managed router from
ACC.
Perhaps if I set the subnet mask on each client to
something like 255.255.255.252 - then the outbound traffic going to IP
addresses outside this netmask would be sent through the default
gateway? But then I'd loose IP addresses - and I'm not sure that's the
right way to go about it.
What should I
do?
Thanks,
Roger
