Where do you get the list of registered prefix's?
Do you implement this with your DHCP server software or with your
registration system?

Subject: Re: XP and bridged miniports
We've overcome the miniport issue by only allowing
MAC addresses of NICs registered with the IEEE to
register (i.e., receive IPs from the DHCP server).
This has caused some fall-out with students using
cheap cards, but for the most part we've managed to
convince them that it's worth the extra $20-30 to have
a card that satisfies the IEEE's Ethernet standards.
(Interestingly enough, some Dell systems were caught with
cheap chip sets that weren't registered with the IEEE.)
Students get a message advising them of the problem
and how to correct it when they try to register their
systems with us. If its an XP system, they call the Help
Desk and we make an appointment to send an RNC
to their room to disable the bridging.
