Hi there,
Ugly? Well the setup is like this:
Main PtP link (A and B, 5 user), to point KN-205 (C) behind it with 2
links to brideing clients. Eace client has a sonicwall attached on the
ethernet side. And then there is the 2 webcams right behind point B. So a
total of 2 sonicwalls, 2 TC clients, 2 webcams and a base (KN-205) all TC
brideing right behind B.... They are all arp'ing (if there was ever such a
word ;)).
I dont need the clients to access the net but the base (for link tests),
the cams and the sonicwalls need access.
I wonder if the L2 bridgeing mode (from C to A) would fix the issue... But
I dont know what the L2 bridgeing mode does. If it was a "kind" of L2TP it
would work (the MAC filter would not allow the clients to pass through the
tunnel)...... I think ill go hunt for a 2x ethernet MAC filtering device.
Sveasoft Alchemy seems stable..... But Linksys?? ;)
Thanks everyone,
Martin Madsen
