Re: Dorms not allowing routers question

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.

"You cannot use a switch if your campus only gives you 1 ip address also if your campus requires mac authentication"

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
