 ''In order for client machines (PC's) to connect to the internet an IP address must be used as an identifier.

Gargoyle does this by checking the client PC's MAC address then assigning the same IP address.'' ''In order for client machines (PC's) to connect to the internet an IP address must be used as an identifier.
