Maybe 802.1x will be your solution. An authenticator resides on an Access Point.Any packet to traverse beyond the authenticator requires authentication in the form of certificates or just a plain old password. An open source implementation, hostapd is available. HTH, Sujith ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
