Re: plug and play internet?
It depends on the type of file you're trying to download. The admins may have a group policy in place that blocks files of certain extensions or over a certain size limit.

What I want to do is plug my laptop into the network and get internet access while bypassing the limitations of running the NT client. :rolleyes:
The limitations set by the admins are more than likely there for a reason. They don't want you to get around the server. Getting around the server opens up the possibilty that you are getting around AV software, and exposing the network to virii. Or in the downloading of large programs, you clog the bandwidth so nobody else can make use of the internet, etc.
I say screw it and use the PCs they provide for you.
Besides, doing this will mean you'll less likely get in trouble for "messing with the network."
