488-Turn off notifications when a connection has only limited or no connectivity


Group Policy : Turn off notifications when a connection has only limited or no connectivity

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2
Group Policy Explain :
   This policy setting allows you to manage whether notifications are shown to the user when a DHCP-configured connection is unable to retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server. This is often signified by the assignment of an automatic private IP address”(ie an IP address in the range 169.254.*.*). This indicates that a DHCP server could not be reached or the DHCP server was reached but unable to respond to the request with a valid IP address. By default, a notification is displayed providing the user with information on how the problem can be resolved. If you enable this policy setting, this condition will not be reported as an error to the user. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, a DHCP-configured connection that has not been assigned an IP address will be reported via a notification, providing the user with information as to how the problem can be resolved.

470-Prohibit TCP/IP advanced configuration


Group Policy : Prohibit TCP/IP advanced configuration

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether users can configure advanced TCP/IP settings. If you enable this setting (and enable the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators setting), the Advanced button on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is disabled for all users (including administrators). As a result, users cannot open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings Properties page and modify IP settings, such as DNS and WINS server information. Important: If the Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers. If you disable this setting, the Advanced button is enabled, and all users can open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box. Note: This setting is superseded by settings that prohibit access to properties of connections or connection components. When these policies are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box or Properties button for connection components, users cannot gain access to the Advanced button for TCP/IP configuration. Note: Nonadministrators (excluding Network Configuration Operators) do not have permission to access TCP/IP advanced configuration for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting. Tip: To open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box, in the Network Connections folder, right-click a connection icon, and click Properties. For remote access connections, click the Networking tab. In the Components checked are used by this connection box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Properties button, and then click the Advanced button. Note: Changing this setting from Enabled to Not Configured does not enable the Advanced button until the user logs off.
