Re: Setting Gateway by User Group

Don't believe the hype. There are lots of ways to do what you want that do
not involve stsaic IPs.

With what you say you have running now, I would use class ids in dhcp.
You can use the log in script to set the class id on the client and se your
2000 or 2003 based dhcp to do what you need to do.

I'll get ya started, ipconfig /?. See the option for setclassid? Now explore
your dhcp servers properties.

Or if thats too twisty, and you have the time to do statsic IPs , try using
DHCP reservations and setting options that way.

or even

Don't give a gateway adress at all through DHCP, but use route add commands
in the login script to add a new default route to the local routing table of
the PC.


Thats just what I can think of off the top of my head. I am sure there are
more ways to do it.
