Default Giving users ipconfig permission

My ISP is struggling with persistent DNS problems that require me to repair
my network connection every hour or two. This requires me to log on as
Administrator.This doesn't work for my kids, though - they don't know that
Admin password

How can I let normal users repair their network connection without granting
them full Administrator priviliges?

Hi

You could add the users to the "Network Configuration Operators" group
(maybe not available on WinXP Home).

Yup - this works perfectly. Don't know about XP Home though - I have Pro.
Thanks,

solutions for this???
