ALL devices use the Internal router for DHCP and as a Default Gateway 2. The Internal Router has a static default route to send traffic to the firewall 2. Wired devices work fine 3. Wireless devices can access all internal resources but not the Internet The reason I think this not working is as follows: 1. When a wireless device tries access any remote network it sends the packets to it's default gateway. In this case the packets have to traverse the firewall as that has the bridge between the two interfaces. 2. The firewall will inspect these packets and note the IP address / MAC address of the wireless device (eg. 192.168. 1. 25 / FF 00 FF 00 FF 00). 3. The firewall will then forward these packets to the internal router. 4. The internal router then sends the packets back to the firewall as that is it's default route (0.0.0.0) 5. So the firewall once again receives a packet with the same source IP (eg 192.168. 1. 25) but a different MAC address so it drops the packet I have pretty much verified this using a packet capture but just wondering if there is a way around it :) Cheers for any input. 4724	WarNox (8772)
