We are using Alternate Configuration on Window XP SP2 laptops as follows:
when the user is in the office, they use a static IP address, and when they
travel, they use DHCP. The computer automatically assigns the IP address,
either a static one or via DHCP, depending on the environment. This
prohibits the users from changing any of their network settings (they are
not admins on their laptops) and this has been working very well. We are
currently running DNS on two Windows Server 2003 servers.
I have noticed that when I don't configure Alternate Configuration (just a
static IP address), the laptop registers properly in DNS with the static IP.
When I reconfigure the laptop to use Alternate Configuration, the computer
is automatically removed from DNS, or shows up with a different IP address,
i.e., 192.168.x.x.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix this problem?
