Subject: Ideas needed, maybe Radius server, maybe...


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
