|  [Help Me] MAC Busts Network
Hi all,
I set up a WAP for a local pizza joint. The connection stems from what D-Link calls an "Internet Gateway" (DSA3100). This has a WAN port, an LAN port and a WLAN port. The LAN port is not being used and the WLAN goes to a WAP(DWL1000).
It (the 3100) is using DHCP on three seperate subnets respectivly. In other words the device interface, the LAN and the WLAN are all on seperate subnets.
Today they had a MAC user come in and log into the network. Reportedly they were then re-directed DIRECTLY to the Internet gateway's interface. Not the default sucess page and not the WAP interface but the gateway which is on another subnet, has an address outside the DHCP scope and is another device completely "upstream". As far as I know they should not be able to access it even IF they knew the device IP.
Am I missing somthing here or is that impossible? Is there some MAC cross subnet protocol??
Thanks for ANY ideas on this,
