Evren, I've never attempted this, but you might be able to achive your goals through the use of static arp entries and using ipfw to block any unused IP addresses. This would effectively restrict individual machines to a single, predefined IP address. The arp man page will show you how to create a permanent static arp entry. To simplify configuration, you might want to look into DHCP for address assignment. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short. ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Evren Yurtesen ** Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2000 10:11 AM ** To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org ** Subject: limiting user activitiy via MAC addresses ** ** ** Is it possible to limit users connectivity via MAC ** address? ** ** I have a freebsd gateway and I want some users in ** my LAN to be able to connect to internet and some ** of them to not to.
