Hi folks,
 
Here's the situation, sorry for the long post.
 
There are a number of students using wireless in our dorms, about 350 of
them. This past year, I had a little Linux router (read old PC) that
could block by MAC address, and that was what I used to allow access to
the internet.
 
Now we want to have some sort of username/password. The students all get
accounts on our Windows 2003 domain, mostly for checking their email
which are on our servers. We would like to use these accounts for
authentication from their wireless connections.
 
If I read the docs correctly, Windows 2003 standard will allow for 50
Radius clients. I don't have any Windows 2003 Enterprise or DataCenter
licenses (which allow unlimited Radius clients), and getting an
Enterprise or Data Center license is out of the question.
 
I don't have any managed switches, and basically no routers (except for
the little one mentioned above, and our firewall). The current wireless
access points are a hodge podge of makes, most of which can talk with a
radius server, but I think I do have one or two that can not.
 
I'm not familiar with Linux, but I can learn it if that will solve my
problem.
 
Any other ideas I might be missing?
 
Thanks.
 
Mark
