Most users never get splashed

hi folks, I have a basic question, thanks for any help you can offer. I'm hoping someone can tell me what I need to do to get the system to work so that everyone who connects gets a splash. I have a Metrix Mark I connected to a NoCat gateway operating in Open mode. The first user who connects through the Metrix board gets the splash screen but all subsequent users never see the splash. I have NAT running on the Metrix board. The NoCat logs on the gateway only show the first connection and never show that anyone else has attempted to connect. The connection always shows the MAC of the eth0 port on the Soekris board. I figure this is probably because the NAT is altering the connection information so it all looks the same. When I disable NAT on the Metrix, the system won't make any connections at all. I'm thinking that I need to configure the addresses and gateways differently, but nothing that I've tried, short of leaving the NAT running works. The system details are currently: NoCatGateway: device IP Connects to Services Equipment eth0 192.168.91.2 Metrix eth0 NoCat Intel inBusiness 10/100 eth1 192.168.2.100 Router Intel inBusiness 10/100 Metrix Mark I: device IP Connects to Services Equipment eth0 192.168.91.1 Gateway eth0 NAT Soekris 4526 wlan0 192.168.89.1 wireless users DHCP Prism 802.11b Mini PCI card Router: device IP Connects to Services Equipment Lan 192.168.2.1 ISP NAT SMC Barricade 7004ABR I'm not sure if this matters, but DHCP assigns the wireless users ip addresses in the range of 192.168.89.10 through 192.168.89.250 and the gateway given is 192.168.89.1, the ip address of the wlan0 card on the Metrix Mark I. The wlan0 thinks its gateway is 192.168.91.1. I'd appreciate any help you might be able to offer, Thanks, /Rob 916-799-3121
