When the network connection is normal, in the system tray on the right shows a small Local Area Connection icon, which is like two small computers, the user is through a lot of rookie to modify the IP address of this. Because the mouse just double-click the icon, you can quickly open the Local Area Connection window, and then modify the IP address. Therefore, if we hide the icon, then you can prevent unauthorized users to modify many of the primary IP. All the best.

On the desktop, right-click "My Network Places" icon in the pop-up menu, select "Properties" command in the open Network and Dial-up Connections window, you can see the Local Area Connection icon. Right-click Local Area Connection icon, the pop-up menu, select "Properties", which will open the Local Area Connection Properties window, in the window "General" tab at the bottom of the "Connect Show icon in notification area when" entry canceled, and then a single hit "OK" button to save the settings, so the task bar on the Local Area Connection status icon disappeared. Although such a simple step, but it still gives more than 50% of users do not know how to modify the IP. Check and reply.

Some users can be refused to the door, but with computer experience had no effect on the others. Because they know they can directly through the My Network Places to open the Local Area Connection Properties window to edit. Therefore, our measure is to allow local connection of the property is not available, so this part of the user block the door. We know that the control system functions are controlled through the registry, but too much trouble to modify the registry, the risk is relatively large, we can use Group Policy to achieve such a goal. All the best.

IP changes a lot of people can say that because of that that can be carried out before the modifications, the proposed changes will be able to enter the Local Area Connection Properties menu command to hide all of which can also serve the purpose of IP against change. In accordance with the previous method to open the Group Policy Editor, and then on the left select "User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Desktop", then double-click the right side of the "Hide My Network Places icon on the desktop" in the open window set to " enabled "item, so by right-clicking My Network Places icon on the desktop open the Local Area Connection will not work on this road.Through several methods above can be said to basically prevent unauthorized users to change the IP address of the problem. Of course, in order to avoid similar incidents, the proposed network administrator should be prepared to work training, user base, allowing users to develop a good network usage habits, so that some of the common failures will not happen again.
