understand what you are all saying, it makes sense, but I must ask a few
questions.
The subnet are currenty linked via VNP, we have a CISCO 800 at group
office and netgrears down at each branch.
Then I must ask, when it comes to DHCP, what is a user defined class, and
what on earth is it used for.
Secondly, the NETSH commande, I assume it can be done from W2003 Server,
and what syntax am I looking for or what should I be searching the internet
for to get the syntax?
Thanx for all your help so far.
