Re:Use static IPs and record their MAC addresses (Score 1)

This is so Simple to fix. I can't beleave anyone has said this yet. Don't allow the students access with there own systems. Place all dumb terminals in the dorm rooms. You can get them cheap, old 486 systems will do just fine. Run Citrix or terminal server. Restrict the apps on the server to only apps that students would need to do school work IE word, excel, etc etc. Require a log on an password that a student is responsable for along with a strong enforced changing and value policy, say once every two weeks the password must be changed with no less then 11 charaters and symbols (yeah thats right 11, its harder to remember and harder to crack). Anything that goes worng that is logged threw that account, the student or parents are responsble for. If a student wants internet access, give it to them via the terminal but control the bandwidth of the connection and deny any large downloads. Most papers or reseach would not be over 2 or 3 megs. Most games are over 50 megs. If a student needs to DL something larger have them provide proof it's for school. IE teachers request for a file, etc.. If a student wants internet access for games an porn, require them to find an outside provider that they or there parents pay for. This would allow the school to meet (legally) all its advertised requirments pertaining to providing the student with computer access. As far as copying, printing, file saving etc etc. Assign old school BJ printers via jet direct to the terminals an leave them in the dorms also, provide old school unix mainframes with folders for the students to save there work to that is backed up daily. This would also allow the student to access there work any where on campus via dum terms surrounding the campus. Have the student provide paper for the printers in there rooms, thus saving the school money on wasted paper from all the porn print outs an cheat sheets.
