work:
      for wireless:  anyone, but they must get authenticated before they
have access -- keys, etc, etc.
      wired:  anyone -- if we had a small network, i might consider mac
address -- maybe.  but we have over 30k address

home:
      wireless: if i had it, i'ld restrict it by mac, shoe size, etc.  ha
ha
      wired:  anyone, but i have a small scope -- not a big threat here.

Do most of you restrict your DHCP server to only MAC
addresses that are on your LAN PCs, or is it any one
who connects to your network?
