 That is a good point. Putting your WAPs into a restricted VLAN is a
best practice method.

So if that is the case, the VLAN ends at a router...which means if you
gain access to that router you can jump VLANS. If this turns out to be
case, look up Layer 2 - VLAN attack on Google.

This is just a guess, maybe you are connected to a VLAN that 
is only allowed to surf the net and not access the internal network!

No redirect straight internet access, I did a nbtscan from 
the local ip the ap gave me but still, nothing. Maybe the 
machines are lock down with windows firewall sp2 enabled.

I guess, I have to keep thinking of something, or just end it 
by saying do not use default router settings. But that is not 
scary enough.

 The thing is that is did that already, I stated that in my first

 did a nmap and noticed that all the internal host are

router. I did a

 Is why my next step was to try a unc shared access by 
doing \\.\x:\

 that did not gave me any useful info.

 That is why I email the list.

    Have you tried opening a web browser and going out to the net 
somewhere
to see if you get redirected to a login page instead of where you 
expect? If
there is one of the wireless authentication devices on the lan 
(Vernier, Blue
Socket etc.) this is what you would see before you log in.
