I was wondering if someone would tell me if/how this would work:

Basically I work at a school w/ a student laptop program. As it is now, students have laptops with wireless access, and can access anything on the WAN. (We just have access points set up throughout the school that are bridged with the LAN). So basically, students and faculty all have the same access.

What I want to do is basically use DHCP from a Win 2003 machine to assign them an IP address, and then block ALL traffic to/from that range of ip addresses except what sites I allow. I know this will be very restrictive, but this is how I want it.

for faculty (and lab machines), I want to give them a static IP addy w/ full access.

Can anyone give me any information as to how this will work/what routers will do this? What features do I need to look for in a router? Or anyone have a better idea to restrict access ?

Any other information will be greatly appreciated !

Thanks

Why don't you give the students limited access?
A student can still access the router and could reconfigure you system.
If they have full access, they can still get into the router.

They can try to access the router, but they can't get into it, as with any router it will be password protected. I guess I don't understand your question

thanks
