authenitication on internet

[lintow]

I work for a university, and we are trying to create a web application for our students to get connected to our internet
We want to do this by using ip address and mac address can this be done by using some kind of authentication process.

Does anyone have any source code that they are willing to share?
Thank you

Do you have your own Internet? Amazing ...

Let's imagine you're talking about an Intranet. I think that this is more a firewall/gateway configuration issue than a coding one.

I'd configure the entry point of the Intranet to just let in trusted IPs.

Cheers,

Dian

Not quite sure I follow what you mean ...

Do you mean you want to have a webapp that a client accesses, and you do some validation based on IP ?

It does not have to ip and mac address. It could be username password

Can you try to explain EXACTLY what you want to do ? As I said before, you are not really making your problem clear ...

If you have been to a airport or hotel or maybe a cafe shop.
And they had wireless internet or fiber access. And you could bring in your laptop and get connected to there internet.

But before you connect you have to pay or authenticate to get access.

first you can get connection.

second you double click internet explorer or any web browser

then it takes you to a web page that ask for you to put in credit card info or username/password

if you choose not to do it, and try to go to another page it just redirects you to authentication page.

So you can't surf the internet until you input credit card # or username/password

this is what I'm trying to do.
