The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Allowing USERS to change TCP/IP Settings in 2000 Pro

Asked by sethm in Windows 2000 Operating System

Hello All,

Here is my issue. I have many users that have laptops. These users are currently locked down (can't change settings, install programs......etc). Obviously they are not in the admin group. Right now users are set to acquire and IP address using DHCP. Normally this is not a problem.

The problem is that many users go to overseas locations that do not use DHCP. Everone on there network has a static IP address. Therefore my users cannot get network connectivity. The users call saying that the Administrative password is needed so the local IT admin can give my user an IP address. For obvious reason I do not want to give out this information.

Is there a way to allow users(or local IT) to have the ability to configure an IP address in these circumstances without giving the users full access to the computer. Maybe a deeply rooted reg setting?

Users are on Windows 2000 Pro SP3.

thanks,
