I am
kind of at a loss here, we don't use the Smartbridges for AP's, we are using
Proxim COR/ROR's. I am blocking intra subnet traffic for the wireless
users, however, we actually do have a city hall who VPN's to the local fire
station, and vise versa. It does not block that. I believe most
VPN's run over port 500, file and print sharing run over ports
135-139.

If city hall wants to do a VPN to the Police
Station, or if joe wants to play an online game with philip...

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
