TCPIP settings

[Chuckm59]

Our school went from Secure School proxy server to a Barracuda appliance over the weekend. Workstation TCPIP settings were set to go to proxy server for content filtering, but now just get IP address from DHCP. The problem is that only administrators can change the TCPIP settings, so admins and teachers can change their machines, but students can not, and it appears that when admin changes TCPIP settings - through IE internet options - those settings dont seem to attach to the student users. We can't see that for sure, but teachers/admin make the change, and can browse, logoff, and student logs on but can not browse web. We will try making change in control panel, network connections today, but?? We are running Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory. Is there something in AD that we are missing or is a workstation issue? THANKS

TCP/IP defines the language that your computer uses to communicate with other computers. To connect to the UOBWLAN, you should set your TCP/IP settings to obtain an address automatically. Netsh.exe is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netsh.exe also provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer. To view your current TCP/IP settings using Winipcfg, you need to check out the following link.
