I thought you might help point me in the right direction with an issue I'm having. Where I work we are looking to deploy a wireless network throughout our campus. Our executives have tasked us with providing a "guest" network that is open and accessible to anyone AND provide a corporate network for employees only. My dilemma is that I'm trying to figure out how to keep my laptop users (~400) from using the guest network either on purpose or by accident. Management has just simply said to provide an open network for everyone to use (including employees) and then our employees will have to VPN into our corp network in order to access our applications, etc. and they feel like it's enough to simply do that. I don't think I'm being overly paranoid by wanting to provide better security for our corporate users. I know that they use open wifi at places like hotels and while this situation is similar I think it is still different since we are providing the access within the walls of our corporate campus and therefore have the capability and responsibility provide such measures.
Am I thinking correctly on this? How can I keep our users from associating to the guest network without restricting their abilities to add connections from the road to other networks? Or is it not that big of a deal that they associate to an open network and then connect to the corp vpn?
Thanks guys. Keep up the great work...it is very much appreciated.

Hi Guys,
Let me start by telling you that since I discovered your
podcast about two weeks ago, it has rapidly moved to the top of my list of must listen podcasts. I do a fair bit of driving on service calls, and I've been listening to all the back issues so I can catch up (once I'm caught up, I'm worried about what I'm going to listen to.) :) You're doing an awesome job, and once again, have opened my eyes to another area of computer expertise that I need to get into (I remember back in 85 when a prof I was assisting at Dalhousie asked me if I knew much about computers - when I told him I did, he pointed out that I'd know a lot about computers when I knew how much I didn't know - boy was he right!) I love the format, and am really looking forward to shows on specific topics.
Here's my question: I'd like to offer my clients some
options when it comes to firewalls and/or routers - right now they are buying the cheapest router they can find and using it. Most of my clients are small (four to eight computers) but I have a couple which are in the 30 to 60 computer range. I'm looking for options ranging from cheap (say in the $150 to $200 range) to more expensive (say in the $1500 to $2000 range.) I've been looking at Watchguard, and they seem to have good products, but I'm not sure how I can compare routers and how I can explain (in simple terms) why a company should spend $150 (instead of $40) or $2000 (instead of $150.) Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
