DHCP problem

Hi

I have a problem I'm having trouble resolving.

I look after a small club that has a Single Windows 2003 domain with 1 DC
and 2 or 3 other servers with 60 XP Pro clients. DHCP is currently provided
by a Linksys Router and if a machine is configured for DHCP and it is
plugged into the wall somewhere in the club it will get an IP address which
will allow it to only connect to the internet. With the network settings
provided by DHCP the machine cannot connect to any of the domain resources.

The club also has a number of Notebooks which they'd like to use on the
domain. If these are set with static addresses all is OK till the machines
are taken away from the club and plugged into another network. I'd like to
be able to have the wireless cards configured for DHCP and have them work
anywhere in the club without them receiving addresses on the secondary
subnet.

Is there an easy way of achieving this?

TIA
KIWI
