A system and method prevent unauthorized users and devices, in a dynamic user / device environment, from obtaining access to shared-medium public and semi-public IP networks. A network includes a layered communication system and routers / switches for coupling users and devices to a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server and an authentication server. Databases support the servers. The network incorporates Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). Authorized users and devices register for service by providing the DHCP with user identification for log-in, passwords, MAC addresses, etc. When users connect to the network access point, a DHCP exchange is initiated to obtain a valid IP address and other associated parameters. The DHCP client initiates a MAC broadcast for IP addresses which contain in the request the end user's device MAC address. The associated router switch will pick up and forward to a DHCP server the end user's device request. The DHCP server will process the end user's request and extract the end user's device MAC address. With the end user's MAC address, the DHCP server accesses its device and / or user information in the database. If the MAC address is not registered, the DHCP server refuses to handle the request and logs the attempt, potentially alerting network operators of a security breach. If the MAC address is registered, a DHCP server selects an appropriate IP address and associated parameters to be returned to the requesting end user and connects via programming or command interface to the router switch that is forwarding the DHCP request on behalf of the end user device. The server adds an ARP IP to the MAC address table entry with the selected IP address and end user's MAC address. End user device authentication and IP lease are marked as provisional. A timer is started for a suggested duration. Optionally, the DHCP dynamically sets up filter rules in the router switch limiting access to a subset of IP addresses such as the address of a log-in server. Initial DHCP processing is completed and an IP address is assigned to the requesting end user's device by DHCP. When the timer expires, if the DHCP server finds the authenticating user state is provisional, it will revoke the IP lease, invalidate the corresponding ARP to MAC table entry in the associated router switch, and reset any IP-permissive filtering for that device. If the user is in the full authenticated state, it will simply remove the restrictive filtering.

A system and method for providing network access are disclosed. After connecting to a network at an access point, a user of a computing device registers for network access with a network provider. In response to the registration, the network provider sends a completion page to the computing device. The completion page includes a link to an embedded file such as a small, transparent GIF image. When the computing device retrieves the embedded file, the embedded file is associated with a header than includes an instruction to generate a network system identifier (e.g., a cookie). The network system identifier may be stored by the computing device and later used to identify the computing device as a registrant for network access with the network provider. The embedded file may also be sent at other times, such as after authentication of the user for network access.

In one embodiment, after establishing a packet data connection (1XRTT or GPRS) and obtaining an IP address, the remote data device registers with the proxy server using UDP packets. The remote data device periodically transmits UDP packets to the proxy server to maintain the registration and possibly any NAT / firewall translations (for the UDP session) in the cellular network. The proxy server is configured to listen on a different TCP port for the remote data device. This is a fixed port number for any given remote data device and is used for addressing the remote data device by the central data acquisition system that wants to access the remote data device. When the proxy server receives a TCP connection (from the central data acquisition system) on the port for a specific remote data device, the proxy server marks the remote data device as being busy and transmits a UDP message to the remote data device informing it that a connection is requested. If the proxy server does not receive a TCP connection from the remote data device, the proxy server transmits connection no-acknowledge message to the central data acquisition system, and marks the remote data device as being idle. Upon receipt of the connection request message, the remote data device establishes a TCP session with the proxy server. The proxy server establishes communication between the central data acquisition system and the remote data device. If the proxy server can establish communication, the proxy server terminates communication and marks the remote data device as being idle.
