How can i prevent the user from changing the ip adrress of the windows
system on win2k and winxp by coding?

I have an idea that i want to disable "property" button for prohibiting
ip from changing when the user
clicks "tcp/ip protocol" from the list of my LAN connection.
But how can disable "property" button when the user
clicks "tcp/ip protocol" from the list of my LAN connection?
if the idea is not good one, do you have other better ideas?
thanks!

------------------------------

Not a good idea, because the user might have enough knwledge to get around
that by using DOS commands or a third party software.

If the user accesses YOUR LAN through YOUR router, than you can set
permissions for IP addresses and ports in the "Filter" section.
You may also find a possibility to tie his Mac Address to your router
permissions.

You need to consult your router manual for instructions.

Good luck
