Lock down wireless network
Does anyone know how I can lock down a workstation so that it can ONLY
attach to a specified wireless network.
Let me explain a little bit. I recently set up a ton of filter rules
for my wireless router, to block certain sites from the kids, only to
find out that they were attaching to a neighbors hotspot (which is not
secured) to get around the filters.
I was hoping to specify my home network on there workstations and then
lock them down to avoid this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Lock down wireless network
Tell your neighbors that your kids have been using their access points because they (the
neighbors) don't have them secured; that means they're letting people use their Internet
connection for free. Offer to show your neighbors how to enable WEP.

Re: Lock down wireless network
It's easy. Assign some IP to this machine on the router using MAC address,
set the static IP on this computer. Hopefully kids are not having the full
administrative access to all system settings?
