I'm a student at UCONN. The admins in our shop use this piece of software called NetReg (orig. from Southwestern University [netreg.org]) to register all network enabled devices. Unregistered devices are thrown in a restricted 10.x.x.x subnet and forced to register before they are allowed to receive a dynamically assigned public IP address. To prevent network abuse via manually assigned static IP address, servers routinely scan the network for IP's not dynamically assigned and MAC address tied to public IP's that are not registered. In the event an unregistered device is discovered with a public IP, the admins shutdown the switchport and the student/faculty is forced to call our call center. This seems to prevent a lot of headaches.
I picked this up on clearance when the Gateway stores closed for 100 bucks. It was worth every penny. The streaming quality is excellent on my 802.11b network, audio/video sync was an issue with some formats but an update to the latest firmware on gateway's website fixed all of the problems. Not only does it stream video but does picture slide shows and plays all my mp3's. The streaming software only works on windows (IMHO) but all-in-all its a great buy.

Actually the shuttle Columbia was nammed after the Columbia River, not Christopher Columbus.
