Just a question about DHCP.
The DHCP server in Windows NT 4.0 does not seem to have any mechanism for
restricting who gets IP addresses. For instance, could you tell the server
not to give an IP address to a particular machine? Or, could you tell it
to give IP addresses only to authorized machines, rejecting all other
requests? These two features seem to be standard in other DHCP servers.
Also, since WINS servers are discouraged, would it be possible to do a
remote login to a Windows NT domain with TCPIP as the only protocol, using
the LMHOSTS file for the Netbios to IP address translation? Would that
also run the login script? (I mean an actual domain login, not just a
share connection)
