(I felt this message had enough operational relevance to post on this list. If any feels otherwise, please let me know.) After having experienced a rather malicious attack on our corporate network by someone running a rogue DHCP server, I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent this from happening again? The perpetrator basically managed to renumber most of an entire subnet (into an entirely different IP block) of our network, causing a major denail of service. I've read the RFC's and checked all the network reference books I can find, and none of them indicate any way to prevent this from happening again. Am I missing something here, or is it time to start writing RFC's? Thanks in advance. -- Nick Bastin - RBB Systems, Inc. The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place. - Douglas Adams
