When I called Livingston they told me there was no hardware/software way
to prevent this. It has to do with the way the Livingstom os works with
the nameserving file. What I did was hand the party involved a 300$ bill.
I had a copy of the log showing multiple usage of the ip and when I
confronted the person they said they were running a quake server and
needed a static ip... What they did was cause periodic service denials
because we all know ip sharing can't exist. I haven't gotten my money yet
but they haven't been running the quake server either...=)
