Hi i have the following setup:

We are in an office with about 150 computers; we are using Monowall as our firewall.
We are also using Monowalls DHCP service.
We also do not want our staff to be able to upload large files to the internet (anything above 100 mb).

All though we have some people in our office that need to upload large files and i have set the up as pass thru Mac.
I have also created user accounts in captive portal.

Now when i start the portal service some of the users can get to the login screen but most cannot and only some of the pass thru Mac client can use the internet with no problem total 12 of 150 people can use the internet if i turn on the portal.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

Some notes...
The first network request must be http on port 80.  If someone checks e-mail first, or goes to the bank on https, "The Internet is broken."

DNS must resolve inside the network, on on the m0n0wall.  If they set up openDNS on there system, "The internet is broken."

Any web proxy must be inside the network, or you must authenticate first.  If the proxy is set up before authentication, "The internet is broken."

Pass though mac still must abide by these rules.  If you need someone to use another protocol before 80, you must give them a static IP (wich can be done in m0n0wall's dhcp server) and use "pass through IP address" instead of pass throug mac.  Or else, "the internet... Smiley
