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? |

solutions for this??? Howard. "Blue Crow" wrote: Yup - this works perfectly. Don't know about XP Home though - I have Pro.
