'--'A month ago I had a server that could not obtain a DHCP assigned address.
'--'After spending time researching, I found an article from MIcrosoft about the
'--'Network Service needing rights to a specific key in the registry.
'--'
'--'I made the correction, and the server was fixed. Wouldn't you know that I
'--'have another server doing the same thing, and for the life of me I can't
'--'locate the article again to figure out which key it was. Anyone know of this
'--'article?
