I would like to supply DHCP addresses to only the PC's I
specify, to dis-allow someone from unplugging a network
line and pulling an address from my server from a laptop.
Are there native tools in Windows 2000 Server to only
supply addresses based on MAC, hostname or other option?

Thanks in advance.
 
Sure you can create DHCP reservations based on MAC addresses. Create a
reservation for every allowed MAC address and exclude any addresses in your
scope that are not reserved. Only clients with reservations will be able to
get IP addresses from your DHCP server.
