Another thought process might include allowing students to register more
than one machine. When register any machine after the first one, NetReg
could modify their DHCP entries to assign all their machines to an available
fixed IP. If that fixed IP is outside the normally served DHCP range, you
won't have any conflict problems. DHCP will not serve the IP if it is
active. That way they could only use one machine at a time, anywhere on the
network. I don't know if this is at all practical, but seems like it might
be nicer to the students.

Subject: NetReg: Students with more then one computer
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,
