Hi Scott, The new airBridge firmware does the Multi MAC operation and it allows traffic from the multiple MAC address to pass thru. When the packets are passing thru, the airbridge puts own MAC address and then reaches the gateway with Ethernet header MAC. The DHCP server looks at the BootP for PC MAC address, not the MAC in Ethernet header and assign IP address based on the airBridge MAC table.
This is the behavior of the airbridge units. For more information, please refer to the following FAQ. http://www.smartbridges.com/new/support/faq_ab.php#150 Thank you.

At the gateway/dhcp server there are two MAC addresses that are seen. The dhcp server sees a request from the MAC address of the machine behind the airBridge, but the gateway sees all the requests coming from the MAC address of the airBridge itself. Basically it would be nice if there was a way to get the mac address shown in the client hardware address field of the dhcp request to be the same as the airBridge that passed the dhcp query through. -- Scott Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Binary Solutions The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
