How can I determine if there are any settings or policies in place that would restrict this Windows 2003 SBS from issuing a DHCP address to my laptop, which is not a member of this client's Windows domain? Thanks.

Restricting DHCP

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
