OT: LAPtops

Hi, all. I'm working in the healthcare industry now but still check
up on you guys from time to time.

I have a nurse user who connects RDP from a local hospital through
their wireless network, using their static settings, gateway, and dns
servers. I created a simple batch file on her desktop that she uses
to set the ip addresses to make that happen. Then when she comes
into the office another desktop batch file sets her ip address on the
same wireless adapter to DHCP-connect to my network, sets the gateway
and dns so she can RDP here. That way all she has to know is to
click 'hospital' there and 'VNA' here. Everything else works exactly
the same either place.

The real reason I came here today is to ask advice on thin-clients.
WYSE has several models and configs and I'm in a quandry. Anybody
got any pros/cons?

static IP info for the wired network connection. Then when the user
goes home, the log on to their PC exactly as if at the office
(including domain). Set the wirelss home connection to DHCP or obtain
automatically. The first time the user, when logged in at home may
have to do ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew from the command
prompt to reload home network settings. After that they should not
have any problems anymore.

I have a engineer that wants to use his laptop here
He has wireless cards in the machine as well as a regular network jack
I use static IP Addresss to get on the network and gateway for my firewall
I gave him a static IP and did NOT have his machine join my domain
Now he cannot get his wireless internet to work at home (But his
wireless print server works)
And now he cannot access my network resources

Anyone got instructions on using laptops on the network
Did you change his IP address, Defaulte gateway and DNS to match his home scheme?
Are you going through a proxy server? If so, did you change the setting for his IE?
Did you change the security setting on his wireless card? WEP?

Just a few suggestions.
Jasper

I had to add a DNS for home and an alternate DNS for our Network. The DNS for home came the DSL router.

I have a similar set-up on several laptops. I add the laptop to the domain and log them into the domain in the office. Then I tell the office wireless connection NOT to connect automatically. That way it will never get DHCP settings from the office wireless network. I set static IP info for the wired network connection. Then when the user goes home, the log on to their PC exactly as if at the office (including domain). Set the wirelss home connection to DHCP or obtain automatically. The first time the user, when logged in at home may have to do ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew from the command prompt to reload home network settings. After that they should not have any problems anymore.

Otherwise, doing ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew will work from home.
