    Pretty sure I broke my laptop monitor

    Windows 2008 SBS and XP Pro clients

    are they all running through one switch? you can always go and knockout the clients list and have them all relog in. AD only supports 99 clients or some shit, every week we have to reset ours at work because it will stop giving out ip's once the list is filled
