  Do a "winipcfg /renew" in the logon script or in their Windows Startup as
  a workaround...   Jake

Hello everybody -

I have an interesting situation.  I am setting up DHCP to support many
PCs that will move from office to office with sales people, and
management.  My goal is to have NO configuration required to plug the
PC into any of our network ports.  This is where DHCP is wonderful!!

Unfortunately, Windows 95 does not look for a new IP address when booting
if its license has not expired.  This is a problem if while down the user
moved to a different subnet.  Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Our user base is not technically literate.  They will not accept a
solution like 1. run winipcfg 2. release address 3. renew.  This will
all have to be hidden from them.

Any help you could give would be much appreciated,
Carolyn
