You must be talking about a different Netreg system that the one everyone else has used. The one we're talking about involves you logging in when you connect with an unknown MAC - once you've used the system to match your MAC to your student number/login/etc, then the DHCP server will give you a real IP the next time you request a lease...
Then anyone can walk up to the machine and get onto the network simply by turning on the machine. The system you're looking for involve biometrics or smartcards. Firewalls between student and administration areas would be a good idea as well. Curtis -- Curtis Maurand mailto:curtis@maurand.com http://www.maurand.com
