I have some Windows NT 4.0 clients who are in an NT Domain that employs a custom subnet mask.
The combination of custom subnet mask and being NT 4.0 WS has proven to be troublesome for these users when the dial in to our UUNET VPN.
Basically, the client ends up with 2 “all zero’s default routes” (1 for the NIC card and 1 for the RAS adapter) in the local routing table. This presents a problem that requires the user to do n “IPConfig /release of the NIC card entry. With the NIC Card “all zero’s” route deleted, the VPN connectivity is fine.
QUESTION: Is there ANY way for a user to use the IPConfig /release command WITHOUT having admin authority? I think not, but I’d like confirmation.
Thanks,
