What to buy?

[Just1n <hotpackets () hellokitty com>]

Hows it going security gurues.
 
My job is now taking on the security responsibilityes for my network. We have nearly 250 pcs on the network and theres 
about 30 macs too (ugh). I was just doing the network before this but the security guy got fired on the weekend after 
getting caught with drugs.
 
My boss wants to stop people being able to post their IP number on the internet. I was telling him that you have to 
worry about the MAC numbers getting posted too, otherwise you can get hacked using them if the hackers get those 
numbers. Most people dont really know thats how you can get hacked on facebook or some of the forums (especially php 
forums).
 
If I wanted to buy something to block these getting posted, what would be the best? Or should I look into doing it 
myself with linux?? Any good books you think I should read about this?
 
Thanks in advance,
Justin
