 Groupstudy,
 Let me pose this question again, "What ever became of GroupStudy?".  
The reason I ask is as of lately the post within the group has been more unrelated to 
groupstudy than ever before that I've seen.  Now I only been a member of the 
studygroup for about a year now and I'm sure other's whom have been here as long or 
longer have noticed the difference in the post. At one time it was a joy for me to 
read the various post and be a part of such an awesome sharing/learning experience.  
However, presently I look to the studygroup and all I find is *dumb* questions and 
foolish post that has nothing to do with what I believe is the reason "Paul Borghese" 
started this list-server in the first place. Yep, I'm upset..! Why? Not for the 
reason that the group doesn't still provide a great amount of information, it does 
and I'm happy about that but now I receive 200 messages a day of which 20-30 may have 
some content that give me a reason to continue my loyal fellowship as a!
 list member.  I still hope everyday as I polish through the garbage(unrelated post) 
that has seem to make it's way into this list.
 
 Let me take you back, for those of you who can remember; snip

I'm right behind you Nigel. I've been on the list for a while now and have
witnessed _first hand_ its degradation.

In an attempt to make this a worthwhile post, I include the following tid-bits...

Without users we wouldn't have jobs; I guess that _would_ make our jobs
easier. ;-) (Just a joke of course)

 Your DHCP requests are only going to be processed during startup.  All the
 router is going to do is handle a helper address, which means when a station
 boots up it will send a broadcast asking for an IP.  The router sees the
 request and forwards the packet on as a unicast message.  There is no real
 impact on router performance for such a small task.  Beware the idiot users
 though who insist on shutting down their machine each time something
 happens. 
 
 75 idiots can bring down any network.  And remember all our jobs would be
 real easy if only we could get rid of the users.

   Subject:Working it too hard?
 
   I'm trying to setup a temporary LAN and would like my router to
 handle DHCP 
   requests.
 
   My question is what if I'm asking the router to do too much?
 
   I'm using a Cisco 1700 series router with about 75 computers running
 win98. 
   The 1700 only has 1 static route to another router (no heavy
 processing like 
   extensive access lists here) and nothing else. Am I asking this 1700
 series 
   to handle too much?
 
   How many PC's asking for IP's before it craps out? What if I use a
 2600 
   series instead? How many PC's could it handle?
 
   If it does crap out what can I expect as a reaction? It just
 freezing or 
   something more sinister?
