This is what I'm wondering about. If they associate IP's with MAC addresses, so simply add MAC addresses to their list of registered users, how can they tell whether the MAC in question is a router or a laptop? I was first worried that if they use DHCP to assign IP's, making that different each...

Wait, you lost me there... The idea is that WALL IS NOT DSL port! It's just an ethernet linking to dorm network. now: Wall to router LAN via cable, then Router to PC via WiFi. In other words, I'm using the router as an access point instead of a cable extention because my cable is too short...
