I would assume I just can't disable DHCP but is there a way where I can MAC filter my LAN so that every machine on the LAN must have their MAC address (wired) staticly set on Smoothwall in order to route traffic anywhere? In other words, you can't just come to my home with any old machine, plug it in and obtain a routable IP address to surf green clients or external networks.

Anyone know how this is done in Smoothwall?
 
OK - I will give that a shot. I thought DHCP had to be running but logically thinking - why would it if you don't want to dish out any dynamic IP's and everyone on the LAN must have a static entry pointing to your MAC to get a routable IP.

Thanks!
 
Another tricky option, set your dhcp server to hand out IP's (and gateway) in the wrong subnet. Would be intruders think they're getting in, but they're getting nowhere unless they manually set their IP.

I like this! Is this something you know works for sure in Smoothwall? Where or how would I enable something like this?
