Thanks samurai.I would like have more info.We dont have any firewalls or routers or routing.Every system is connected to the server via utp cables thru a switch which is not manageable

our server is running as a domain controller and clients log in to the domain controller

I have to agree with dlwyatt82 on this one.  There is no way the I know of to keep someone from configuring their own static IP and talking with your network unless there is some sort of managed routing enviroment.  I'll do a little digging and see if I can come up with something though.
