client isolation

[jjoaquin]

does the client isolation only works for Wi-Fi clients? How about wired ethernet clients? tried to simulate simple network topology but the Wi-Fi clients can see my ethernet clients and its shared folders as well.

Client Isolation should work with Wi-Fi as well as Ethernet. Note that your client needs to use FirstSpot DHCP Server for Client Isolation to work.

yes, the ethernet client used the FS DHCP to obtain IP address, however if I do a search of IP address belonging to that subnet it was found and I can explore whatever it is shared on that client.

Is it because Im using the trial version?

Additional, how does session handling works?

1) FirstSpot Client Isolation only prevents client from seeing each other in Windows "My Network Places" or "Network Neighborhood". If the client tries to access the other client via IP address explicitly, FirstSpot will not stop it.

2) Session Handling is the method for FirstSpot to identify client. FirstSpot supports both MAC or IP (Advanced Edition only, see http://patronsoft.com/firstspot/editions.html ) session handling. See point 7 ( http://patronsoft.com/firstspot/faq.php ) of our FAQ for more details
