When I view the entire network I see my domain and 2 computers that do not
belong. These were laptops that customers brought in and plugged in to use
our internet. I cannot find out how to remove them from the entire network
list.
Thank you for your help
 
I'll try this one....This is usually caused by a WINS Server holding onto
the latent domain. They use the word "Tombstone" to describe these latest
domains. They will drop off the list at a future date. The WINS Server
must be scavaged, in order to purge the entries. You can manually do that,
in the WINS server. I have those entries myself, and usually a good
indication someone has hit your network, without permission.
This is one good argument for PROXIES. If you required a validated IP and
permissions in order to hit the Internet, then there would little they could
do on the network. Most of the time though, users get an IP, and Default
Gateway, and can hit the Internet without authenticating with the server.
