Re: Block Unauthorized Computer

I would also be looking at your company policy on connecting to the computer
network!.
Why has someone brought in a Home computer and attempting to access the
network?

Thanks to all for the suggestions and insight. I believe this is simply
somehome bringing in a home computer with no malicious intent. The simple
first try, as suggested in responses, is to make a reservation for the MAC
address with an out-of-range IP.

Thanks to all, interesting thread.

My servers are Server 2003, SP2. I have DHCP running well. I noticed a
computer name in the Address list of the DHCP server that is not a
computer that belongs to our company. All I have is the computer name
and
MAC address, which DHCP catches.

How can I block or prohibit this computer from getting an IP address or
from using our network for whatever purpose??
