We have it set up right now that some of our buildings have just enough IP's
to cover each port, but not any more then that. The problem is that some
students are bringing more then one PC to school with them (if not 3!). We
want to have it so a student can not have a 2nd PC in the room to help
reduce the possibility of exhausting the available IP's in a subnet. Does
anyone know a way that this can be done?? I know I can only let a user
register once, but what's to stop the user from walking down that hall and
asking someone without a computer for them to register the machine for them.
I am looking for a way that the user can not bypass the restriction. I was
thinking something with SNMP but couldn't think of anything that may work.
I figured I would ask you to see if anyone else has any ideas.

Thanks,
