I use MAC address for my DHCP IP settings. So I always need to find MAC address from the new machine that plug into my network. Without the MAC address, user will not be assigned any IP address. And this helps to enforce certain level of security. Ya i know it’s not the best solution, but at least it block some newbie :p
