I find it quite convenient to leave both my PC and a laptop running on my desk, for various reasons (too many open terminals and windows is one of them ...)I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with that too. At my ex-employers, on of the things they did right is encourage study groups, and with multi-occupant suites, several stations (including one or more printers, plotters, and such) was normal. Most of the residence halls had hubs or small switches available for check-out. Is it the contention that each student should only use one pencil?
If you have 300 students and 500 pencils, then the answer is yes. If everyone grabbed 3 pencils, you'd run out pretty quick. There are only so many addresses available in the DHCP pool.
The smarter students put a NAT box on their port so they can run their desktop, laptop, XBox and have a place their friend can plug in.
