DHCP through RASMar 01 2004 09:31PM Jason Humes (jhumes acs on ca) (1 replies)
Hi
We provide access-controlled internet in a public area through the use of an
access-controller. Usernames for authentication to the AC are given out
manually and IPs are distributed via W2K DHCP Server. The problem is that
we don't want users installing access-points or other access mechanisms onto
the network and doing some second level sharing of the internet feed. I
mean, if I look at the DHCP server leases, most of the leases are plain old
PCs, but there are a couple that show up as RAS under the "unique ID" field
and the "Name" field matches that of another...this means that the person
showing up as RAS is connecting THROUGH the matched Name...correct? Is
there any way in W2K DHCP to stop this? The access-controller works by
source IP address, and the IP would be the same for both PCs and therefore
allowed through to the internet. Thanks
