Kamal,

Enable MAC filtering on your wireless access points and that should do a
good job of restricting access to only those NICs you want on your network.

Greetings,

Does anyone know of a way or program that would let me know if an
unauthorized computer has connected to my wireless network and been issued
an ip address by DHCP? I am aware that I can check the DHCP log to find this
out, but I want something that will warn me in real time that a computer has
connected.

Thanks,

Kamal Habayeb
