DHCP internet access for some only
I have DHCP service running on my WIN2K Pro network, to give people with laptops access to the Internet without having network accounts. Some users can just plug laptops in and get on the internet, other cannot. My questions is, why can some people get on the Internet right away, and others cannot?

bmquintas: good cause to look for. I usually check the IP settings and find that they do not have any (all on auto). all the laptops have been either win2k or win xp.
