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
