        Configure all DHCP clients static (so that every client always get the same IP from the DHCP)
        and enable

        "Enable Static ARP entries"
         
        Note: Only the machines listed below will be able to communicate with the firewall on this NIC.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          I had this problem too at one stage, I think the culprit was packet sniffing and grabbing username/passwords using this method, though it may have been something else, anyway, I changed the captive portal to use https instead of http and the problem never occured after that.

          Regards
