An apartment complex I'm working with provides internet service for all its tenants. A simple DLINK router is configured to a T1 service providing DHCP service for anyone connected throughout the building making internet service available. The problem is that any user with a router having DHCP SERVER enabled who plugs into our LAN on their LAN side will screw up Address Leasing from our server preventing homeowners from internet access. What would be a better firewall hardware to use, and what services / configuration can prevent this problem for the future? Can MAC address connectivity, or some other configuration other than static IP assignments give my server priority over DHCP Leasing? Thanks, Dan
This question has nothing to do with Word. I suggest that you go to google groups and search for a networking newsgroup. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
