Re: Monowall Captive Portal only work when I'm set to DHCP ?
Nomadix "universal client" feature is not present in current version of m0n0wall.
It is useful when customers have manually set static IP on their laptops (usually 192.168.1.x) but do not know how to set DHCP.
I can only guess what could happen if two customer has same static IP.  |

An info box will pop-up in windows informing each user of a duplicate IP on the system, and the tech support phone will ring, twice . Nomadix is what it's called ? The hotels run into this problem a few times a month. Usually somebody's corporate network with some off the wall IP scheme, so dups would almost never occur. I really need to get this technology figured out. Thanks again.

| Hello all:
The Dlink DSA 3100 also has the universal client you are talking about. Whereby if they are set up for a static IP, they will still be able to get on the Hot Spot.
I haven't worked with it for a while, but it seemed to work pretty well. |

"Universal Client" hotspots rely on modified Linux NAT code and some crash when second duplicate IP tries to connect. Others accept the second client but start sending wrong packets to both clients. |
