The kid is probably listening to streaming audio or watching porn...

Using the firewall I was able to see that the one of the IP addresses in questions was on Morpheus. I found the kid in the computer lab, checked the IP on his laptop and told him to get off morpheus.

I don’t know the specifics about your network but most formal school systems are setup with a static ip host side.
The computer lab is setup with static IPs and they know which IP sits where, but if a student brings in a laptop, they obtain an IP automatically.

Right - what he could do is a ban on MAC address possibly and then have the student call for "tech support" if you will... then nail them when they do call.

This may be a possibility. I just have to figure out how to do that on the firewall.

can you change the settings in your router to not broadcast the SSID? (i am assuming this is wireless network)
also, try some packet sniffing software, at lest you'll know what they are d/l'ing

We has a few issues with a few access points. At the beginning of the school year they were broadcasting the SSID. They no longer do that, but most of the kids have the SSID or can get it from someone now.
To complicate matters, the company we were using for wireless abandoned us and disappeared off the face of the earth. So we have to wait until the summer to do anything drastic.
