Re: Dorms not allowing routers question
you can use DHCP fine. The routers DHCP will only attempt to assign addresses to the ports on the LAN side. IF you plug the schools network into the lan side it will attempt to answer DHCP requests and probably piss off your admin.
WHY do you want to use a router anyway? Just use a switch and you will be fine. |

| You cannot use a switch if your campus only gives you 1 ip address also if your campus requires mac authentication.
A router with your pc's mac address cloned to it will just look like your computer to your campus admin's thus allowing you to plug whatever you want into your lan side of the router and them not knowing its there. |

buy a cisco switch and then make VLANS
most campus networks need to be at your computer to get your mac address, also in 2 seconds i can change what my mac address would look like to an outside source.
if it comes to and that dont work:
buy windows server
make your server a router and the problem is solved.
requirements:
2 NIC cards
1 connected to the campus
the other connected to a router/switch |
