And there is a point of securing a network.
Using registered MAC addresses will be a way to prevent unallowed network access by laptops and other unauthorised computers. I'm just discussing this with a guy who knows the legal situation here in lower saxony better than I do. He's resposible for a couple of Schools in my region and is working in the computer ceter at our University here. He also told me that there is a must to do so in lower saxony, what he didn't proof yet. So Im waiting what he will tell me next week. Bye, TT
