You are located in Building 100, 100 First Street, while the computer you need to update is located in Building 790, 77th Avenue, 5 miles away. Here are your choices: You can drive down and touch the machine and make these simple changes, or you can connect remotely through the registry to make the changes. Here's how to do the latter on NT 4.0. The process is similar in Windows 2000. - Open Regedt32 - Go to registry and select Connect Network registry. - Select the Computer; you should be able to use the browse list to find the machine name. - Go to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE MicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionNetworkCards1 (or whatever number card you need to change on that machine -- some machines may have multiple NIC's), and record the ServiceName value. - Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM CurrentControlSetServices<ServiceName>Parameters TCPIP, where <ServiceName> is the name you recorded in the previous step. - Change the values of EnableDHCP to 1 and IPAddress And SubnetMask to 0.0.0.0. - Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM CurrentControlSetServicesDHCP and change the Start value to 2. SMS or one of the other services could allow the use of remote control but that is another story. *For more scalability information and resources, visit these Best Web Links: http://searchwindowsmanageability.techtarget.com/bestWebLinks/0,289521,sid33_tax287655,00.html. ==================================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DID YOU LIKE THIS TIP? ==================================================================== We need your feedback!
