Have you looked at using WPA with radius authentcation? (such as the MS IAS) If you are using both w2k and windows xp I guess you need to find a client that has supports for w2k, one I know is MultiNetwork Manager from
Normally you don't have to, (it's built into most op syss/browsers/etc like my XP/ie Win2003/PDA Desktop/Win NT etc), there are however some out there that don't have it built in (think linux or palm os may be that way), don't know what you have, so I didn't want to make any absolute statements about needing it or not. You may want to look at what you have/use, it may already be in there, and you don't have to do anything.

These are for connecting 2 routers together at different locations via VPN, not for separating local traffic via VLAN or local VPN.
completely off topic

that doesn't have anything to do with VPN, it's got VLAN support on the wireless LAN. still haven't looked into it (i slept instead), but i believe this should work.
wish me luck

I am hoping to move away from havinfg to install any IPsec client the users machines
No i haven't. But this is the king of solution i am really looking for. Simple and secure.
if you are interested, have a look at "Enterprise Deployment of Secure 802.11 Networks Using Microsoft Windows"
Its not a wireless router, but you can always just add an AP to it for wireless. Check out the ZyWALL2 SPI Firewall Security Router with built in VPN Server.

You would implement a protocol filter on the AP level.

Zyxel has several.
Or a Linksys Router with Sveasoft firmware.

If you want secure you'll have to use IPSec. Or possible WPA, but not all machines support WPA.

Can't you hook your "internal" lan as an outside connect. Thus you're connecting the WiFi lan to the secure lan via VPN? It should work.

These are all for connecting to a VPN server across the internet
NOT LOCALLY!!!!!!
And they only provide VLAN support for the 5 HARDWARE ports on the router, not the WiFi connection!!!
lol
i'm guessing there is no options...

You could filter NetBios. Cisco's Aironet APs seem to allow you to do this.
FWIW, there is nothing magic about IAS. You can do the radius server for
