Hi all. I've searched around and have found some discussions dated 2005
regarding denying DHCP leases based on mac addresses. Basically the
conclusion was it couldn't be done through Windows Server 2003 DHCP. I'm
wondering if this has changed in the 3 years that have passed.
Here's my situation... I have a network with a wireless router. The router
is basically being used as an access point, passing through data rather than
doing any actual routing. Consequently, I can't connect to it via web
interface to log in and change anything. So, for the time being, lets say
that I cannot change the wireless password or set up mac filtering, which
would be the easiest thing to do. The wireless clients obtain a DHCP address
from a Windows 2003 SBS.
Over time, the wireless password has obviously been leaked. I have repeat
offenders with iPhones and other devices leaching off the bandwidth. These
are not devices or users on my network. Since they are the same devices over
and over, I would like to be able to block them from obtaining IP addresses,
or restricting their network usage after obtaining an address.
Can somebody recommend the best way to do this? I'm open to 3rd party
solutions.
Thanks!
