�
The airBridge with the firmware version 0.09.10 is
a transparent bridge and supports only single PC.
�
The airBridge with the firmware version 0.01.04
and later supports multiple MAC addresses but does MAC translation of the PC�s
MAC address when requesting for an IP address from the DHCP server, however if
you see at the main packet level header you will see the airBridge�s MAC
address and the Bootp level you shall see the PC�s MAC address.
�
The airPointPRO in CB mode any firmware just
passes the PC�s MAC address while requesting for an IP address from the DHCP
server, without doing any MAC translation while supporting multiple MAC
addresses.
I hope it clarifies.
With Best Regards,
Vasu

Wayland,
You must be using airPoints (cb mode) on the client or
the very old
airBridge firmware. Because the most recent
airBridge firmware appends
the airBridge MAC address to the client's IP
address. Therefore, only
the MAC of the airBridge shows up at both the aPPo and
the arp table
within your gateway.

I am not sure why you say that we can't see the actual
PC MAC. On my set
up
we are seeing the PC MAC and successfully assign IP
addresses to them
using
DHCP. The firmware in the AP is
1.4j.6
Can you explain further?
Regards,
Wayland.
