Hello,
I'm an apprentice and currently working on my graduation project - Connecting 
two networks with a captive portal.
I tried to use packetfence as a captive portal / firewall between the two 
networks. The system should work without a switch attached, so the packetfence 
server is directly added to the clients routing table as the gateway for the 
corresponding network.
This means the solution needs to be only ip-based, without the need for mac 
addresses.
It seems that packetfence is the wrong solution for the intended use, it would 
be great if you can confirm this or provide some instructions on how to tweak 
the configuration.
At the moment, the client is redirected to the captive portal website, where no 
login is possible because packetfence is not able to pick up the mac address (0 
is displayed as the mac adress)and thus displays the following message "Your 
computer was not found in the PacketFence database. Please reboot to solve this 
issue."

Thanks in advance,
Regards
