I'm not sure of the details here, but this MAY be a possibilty. Create IPSEC policies which allow the laptop to connect to only your network (secure server required etc..). Then lock down that snapin so that only domain Admins can edit it. Maybe others on the list can add more to this idea...? Kind Regards, Jason M.

But the real problem is how to | protect the laptop from being connected to a other | network and be infected with spyware, virus etc... | and even worse having some of our data going threw | other LANs. | how could I be sure that the laptop will ONLY be | able to connect to our LAN and not any other. | Thanks for any help or hints. | Steven Meyer | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
