Re: NoCat redirects its own requests to the auth service

Sounds like your AP is not configured correctly.  Hopefully something i say will be helpful ;-)

What's probably occurring is the AP is sending it's own IP/MAC address to nocat and not alowing the IP/MAC of the client to
passthru.  This results in the wrong iptable rule being written with an ip/mac combination that doesn't match your clients...
resulting in the infamous login loop.   Is your client nat'ed behind the ap somehow? Setup dhcpd on your nocat gateway, and
turn it off on the ap.  Your ap should be acting more like a wireless hub or switch... this might mean putting it in bridge
mode.  If it's a router, don't use the WAN port.

Hope this helps...

Scott
