I've got the NoCatSplash package apparently working on a Linksys WTR54G, using the latest beta of DD-WRT (23). It isn't really working as I expected. I thought it would force Wireless clients to the splash page, but let LAN/ethernet connected clients straight through, so that staff at the coffeeshop I'm setting it up for wouldn't be affected. The reason why this matters is that I'm blocking port 25 as suggested and this will obviously cause problems for the coffeeshop staff. So first of all, is this expected behaviour? Should LAN clients get sent to the Splash page? Secondly, if it is, can anyone suggest a way of modifying the config to allow this? Would I, for example, be able to modify the firewall rules to allow a certain block of internal IP addresses through. If so I could then assign the staff with fixed IPs in a small range and that would solve the problem. Or is it simpler than that? Can I use vlan functionality to assign all the LAN ports to a different VLAN and somehow exclude that from the nocat treatment. Hoping someone has been through this already .. Jim
