Yes, when I say plugged in backwards I mean that a LAN port is plugged into the WAN cable broadcasting bogus DHCP infomation. Currently the architecture is bridged. There are three access points (Ubquity NS2) that all come down to a switch the switch is then connected the gateway router that is running DHCP. >> >> This was more of a WISP dashboard program.

The main feature that I am wanting is something that will allow authorized clients direct access to the internet no clicking "ok" to continue or anything like that. Un-authorized clients should be directed to a captive portal type deal. Thanks _ /-\ ndrew -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
