I only know, that you can´t manage the Router from another Ip-adress if there is someone logged in already from somewhere else. I haven´t checked out, what happens, if I try to reconnect from the same browser and machine after logging out. I have m0n0walls now everywhere, so it´s hard for me to test now, but next time I get my hands on a netgear I´ll do a test. Maybe someone else who reads this could test it. > > One of the beautiful things about m0n0wall is that it doesn't have any idiotic "only one IP can admin at a time" restriction, doesn't rely on cookies or anything else like that. HTTP AUTH was invented for a reason and I'd like to thank whoever made the decision (Manuel, I assume) for implementing it this way. As far as logging out, close your browser window. This is the only reliable method that works for all sites (unless the site happens to use non-transient cookies) -- They call it "PMS" because "Mad Cow Disease" was already taken |
