Gateway and DNS Value

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

You would define these settings in DHCP and your DHCP server would push the
settings out to your clients along with their IP address.

You will have to manually type in the gateway on the client. If you are not
using DHCP and you give your computer a fixed IP address, you have to also
provide the DNS and gateway.

Good morning, Admin!

I am not sure that you are understanding what Danny suggested. This is not
a Group Policy question. There is no way - in WIN2000 - to distribute these
values via GPO. I am not saying that I know every setting like the back of
my hand. I am saying that I am pretty familiar with the settings and I can
not remember any setting for the DNS Server(s) and Default Gateway!

You might have to look for another solution.

Not super familiar with this utility but you might want to look at 'netsh'.
This jumped to mind although I have never used it!

HTH,

Cary

Andy,

Great info. This is what I thought but was too busy to investigate.
Feeding your 2 1/2 month old little boy is -ALWAYS- more important than
looking up netsh's syntax. Glad that I was at least on the right track with
this question. Sometimes I get lucky! ;-)
