You should be able to setup a reservation for it, where the router/DNS and IP are all the same. That way the machine doesn't know how to get anywhere other than local. Naturally, this type of thing doesn't prevent someone from manually setting the IP config, but nothing you do in DHCP will. Bill Mayo

I have a rogue IPhone that appears intermittently on my DHCP range. I haven't managed to find out who it is yet but if I do I will be sure to address it via HR....turning off the wireless unfortunately is not an option. I know the user could probably bang in some static settings to get around the block, but seeing as though our users can't save things in the right folders, I'm relying on them not being savvy enough to enter some network settings themselves. Thanks for all ideas... -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
