Another interesting thing might be one step removed: How to restrict DHCP replies to only one CLASS of MAC addresses, 8:0:20:x:y:z for instance. (Okay, so maybe a discussion of restricting to Sun MAC's on a W2K server is odd, but it's the first MAC range that came to mind!) This would at least keep people without the same brand of NIC off your DHCP range. Of course, someone can always choose an IP out of his a**, er, hat after he sniffs the wire to find what network(s) are live on the wire...

My question is once the decision is made to do it, how is it being done? Does anyone know how to do it in a Win2K server environment? (Win2K DHCP services...) If not possible, is there a typical strategy people are using to restrict granting of DHCP addresses to known MAC's?
