RE: Client IP/DHCP

The DHCP has more than enough range to cover the amount of machines I have
and also all the lease times have a least 3 days to run.

All machines are Win XP Pro. How do you disable the local firewall, as when
I go into in on the client machine it won't let me change anything as it says
it is controlled by a group policy?

Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated
