Talk about giving the users enough rope to hang themselves! ;-) I guess

Thanks for all the advice, I will try to work this with the managers see
what we can come up with. As I said before this is a political mess because
there are too many chiefs and few indians and unfortunately I don't have a
power in the final decisions which is why things are not optimum. This was
Great! Just what I needed. Thanks for the clarification.
Now that I think about it, the ability to set TCP/IP properties on the
'Network Bridge' item is a dead giveaway. :)

Windows XP does this by default in some situations. If
you have a PC with a Ethernet NIC and firewire
adapter, it will bridge the 2 interfaces together and
create a logical L3 interface that the protocols are
bound to all by default.

John,
If WindowsXP is bridging two NICs it actually runs spanning-tree. It is a
very nice feature for L1 redundancy. Though in your scenario I don't really
see why they think that's necessary. I'm planning to use this functionality
in the upcoming Windows.NET server to multihome all my servers, a

Well, when I wrote the orginal post I knew I will have these questions.
Basically the first layer of support or help desk if you will have more PCs
then the drops in their cubes. This is an old building not meant for an IS

as much of a rulemeister as I am, I still have to look at this from the user
standpoint. Why are users throwing their own hubs onto the network? Is there
a business case to be made? Is facilities too slow getting requested cable
pulls done?
