ABSTRACT:
In a method for controlling access to a network by a wireless client and a network, an access point on the network receives a request for a network address broadcast by the wireless client. The request is passed to an address server, which assigns a temporary address to the wireless client and provides the address of the access point. The wireless client then initiates a secure link with the access point based on the network address assigned by the address server and the address of the access point. If the secure link is not established before the temporary address expires, then wireless client is denied access to the network.
