Well, I guess I'd blame the IT manager when the users run roughshod over the admin... [;)]
How about changing the wireless pass phrase for all the devices you control. Then, when the kids complain that they can't get on your LAN, tell them you need to set a new parameter in their phones for them...
Record the MAC address of each iPhone's WiFi
To those MACs, assign specific addresses outside your normal wireless DHCP range
Make sure you have an Astaro network definition for your wireless DHCP range
Create an Astaro network definition for the IP range of the new, fixed IPs of the iPhones
Don't forget to add the new pass phrase to the iPhones

thanks for the input. I've setup the network that way. Basically now I have four /26 networks (sub-divided from a /24). The clients themselves are still configured as a /24 but I can assign rules based on the new subnets. This seems to be working! [:D]
Basically I went to the DHCP leases screen, copied the MAC address, went over to the static mapping screen and pasted the mac address into a new static mapping. Then I created the rules based on the ip address from the new mapping. However, I can't help but think that this could be a little easier. I have two thoughts and would love to some input.
1. If I could assign a host definition based on mac address, I wouldn't have to do all this subnetting. It would be even cooler if I could do this from the DHCP leases screen since that shows me the hostname.
2. The same thing could be accomplished with a mac to dns mapping.
I don't know why either of those two seem more simple to me, but I guess it's just what I'm used to from consumer routers and firewalls.
But astaro so far for me has been great! I breathe a lot easier now that I've got way more insight into what's happening on the network. Thanks!
