Default Dirty laptops

No not the muddy ones or the ones full of ****. Im taking as in bringing laptops that have been "in the wild" on high speed lines into the company network They need access to email and basic printing over IP. Can anyone suggest how we can stop them from contaminating the LAN proper, ie has anyone else had this before and how have they fixed it ? I was thinking stopping certain ports etc at the local switch but its only an idea.

This is something i also need to solve.

Have a look at Microsofts NAP (W2K3), cisco have got a rather nice one too.

i thought about setting up a DMZ for laptop users, and writing something to the logon script to update them when they connect. but that's as far as i got..
