Network is MS Small Business Server 2003 Premium, with ISA 2004 SP2 as the firewall. internal NIC runs through a D-Link DES-3828 L2/L3 managed switch, where I've setup 3 VLAN's - default, LAN and Guest. AP's are D-Link DWL-2200AP's. I have a single AP working now while I troubleshoot the others. This one is wired to the switch on Port 5; internal NIC is on Port 2. The AP has MSSID's and VLAN's enabled. Primary SSID has WPA2-Personal authentication set, and is tied to VLAN 2 (which allows LAN access by tagged ports on 2 and 5 and all other ports enabled). The other SSID is for Guests and does NOT have authentication set., and is tied to VLAN 3 (which has ports 2 and 5 tagged and all others set to Forbidden).

Problem: Guests using IE7 or Mozilla's Firefox are prompted by a login window on access a webpage; this is for the proxy. They shouldn't be prompted, so why would this be happening? ( I'm making the assumption that ISA is the cause.)

Change the Internet access rule to All Users instead of SBS Users. BTW, Vlans are not supported on a SBS...

Thanks for the quick reply.  That should do it.

You surprised me with the statement that SBS does not support VLANs.  I thought about it and it makes sense.  As I understand it now, SBS does not have "obvious" means to support VLAN's; you have to do "work-arounds" to get it to function.  Is that right?

Mike,
 
All wizards will break when you install VLans. If you know what you are doing (and I know you are) you should be able to get it right...

You may also want to have a look at the type of authentication set in your web proxy. If it is set to integrated it also prompts for a password, if is set for basic it will allow anonymous traffic to flow first:

Wow! I didn't know that.  I just figured I'd have to reconfigure a few items whenever I run CEICW.

None of my domain computers or laptops/notebooks are running wireless, so VLAN's aren't affecting them - directly.

As for me knowing what I'm doing, well ... I'm trying and learning.  I've read and re-read Owen William's paper on setting up secure wireless, and exchanged a few emails with him about it.  I've also read and re-read the MS whitepaper on the subject.  My situation doesn't quite fit those scenario's, so I have experimented with ways to (hopefully) make it work.  My big advantage is that we are on a remote ranch in a rural part of the state at least 1 mile from the nearest neighbor.  All visitors who ask for wireless access are known to us, so I don't have to really worry about hackers.

Great point!  I did not have Require all users to authenticate checked, but did have Integrated  checked.  I un-selected it and checked Basic.
