Gateway option

I have a DC win2000 server with several w98-w2k workstations.
Win2000 server uses DHCP server to distribute IP addresses, in DHCP option
there are DNS value and ordinary gateway value (that i call IP 1).
I have to use a second gateway value (that i call IP 2).

I would like, by a policy or similar, to assign gateway=IP 1 on some
workstations, gateway=IP 2 on other workstations.
The option must be associated to workstation and not to users.
Note workstation's users are local administrator of their machines. Users
must be disallowed to change gateway settings.

Any help is appreciated.
Andy.

U probably gona laugh but,

how many clients are we talking here? One idea is to
manage your 2 ips one with normal DHCP and the other with
reserved IP and set IP 1 for DHCP and set IP 2 for
Reserved IPs
But that could be not an optimal choice if you have lots
of clients... also not good for future expansion
(subnetting or supperneting).

Have a look at Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration in WMI.

Yup.

Sounds like a contradiction to me? How can an administrator not be
allowed to change the gateway?

About 40 clients.

Volendo ti potrei scrivere in italiano ma non so spiegarmi
in lingua tecnica... quindi continuo in inglese
Because it looks like you want to devide the 2 networks
with different gateways u could supernet you network with
different IP with a route between them.
Per esempio:
DHCP---
-
-
- --192.168.1.xxx Network GW=192.168.1.xxx (IP 1)
-Route
--192.168.2.xxx Network GW=192.168.2.xxx (IP 2)

netmask = 255.255.255.0
Could this be an idea?? And if you have only 40 clients
maybe it is worth it to use static ip for those
workstations......

OOps correction that is not superneting... that is just
adding another network. Sorry i got confused.
