This is a bit of an off the wall question but here goes.... Is there any possible way to hide or disguis a base station so that a network admin does not know it is there. The reason i ask this is because last year i had a problem with my college network admin trying to get me thrown out of the dorms because i was violating the network policy. After discussing the reasoning behind this with him, he expressed to me that The station itself grabs an Ip address and then the computers attacted to it grab an ip address. He proceeded to say that if 10 percent of the campus did this it would create a massive slow down. I don't know the tech behind the base station that well so i don't know if he is just trying to snow me or what.
The thing i think is funny is the fact that I can set up my powerbook to do that same thing but i am allowed to connect that to the network.
If you ask me one of us doesn't know what we are talking about. Either way i want to able to use it without going through all the extra crap i dealt with last year.
