Hello All,
We are using DHCP to distribute IP address in our netwok but my problem is when anyone comes with laptop and plug into network port they get internet/intranet access without any autehtication.
Now we need to protect it the access of internet/intranet so is there any opensource software/solution for it.
Thanks and Regards,
Asger

A DHCP server will provide any host an IP address upon request. From what I read, you can configure your DHCP to supply an IP address to specific network interfaces. There are serveral configuration files that will allow you to do this. Read RedHat's configuring a DHCP server.
