the term which i used for it is a "secure DHCP service" hard wired IP to MAC address
question: are cable providers have the setup of secure DHCP ----- using the MAC address identity of the CABLE modem interface so that those registered clients (people who pays) are the only one to have IP address >>>>> VirtualDocumentRoot /home/httpd/virtual/%0/ >>>>> VirtualScriptAlias /home/httpd/virtual/%0/cgi-bin i'm using virtual domain hosting but that doesn't work for me.. i have a different setup BTW: can we warn ALL DSL and CABLE subscribers about NETBIOS scanning and others security threats i myself can go through any M$ PC and network through my system. one mentioned me about a mailing group or e-groups address. maybe we (PLUG) can educate them for protecting their "intellectual property" ---ran ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian C.
