Thanks for the link to SMAC. It looks like a neat tool, and may just work... but man this scares me...

Les, you are right, why bother changing an address to another seemingly random address.... well had I not been part of this I would have asked the same thing. Basically, the address assigned to the pc is something like 10.10.20.0 with a submask of 255.255.248.0. This is a usable IP, but our corp offices have something against it when monitoring use through the firewall.
