SP2 is pretty good especially the pop up blocker. I'm impressed

i'd just use static IP's personally - no point in havin DHCP if you only have a handful of PC's.
Duno about the nortan thing, maybe try nortons webby for software updates

Doesnt matter if you set up a static IP either, still gets jack shit. Set the gateway, subnet, IP, DNS servers and you get nothing. It makes no sense at all.

They have from version 2004 onwards, 2002 and 2003 need an update (called the WMI Update) to make Norton tell SP2 it's status.
Also, my wireless is fine with SP2 on 2 different laptops.
