   I agree with the proxy though not the fixed address.  Use proxy =
authentication so that the rules apply to users and not the computers.

   You shouldn't need a fixed internal IP for pcAW unless this is a pcAW =
restriction.  As long as you have dynamic DNS or similar internal name =
resolution you should be able to use a dynamic address.  Just refer to =
the machine by name instead of IP.

  Not my area of responsibility but I always like to help if I can:
  We want to restrict the rank-and-file users to a few allowed sites =
like
  FedEx and UPS.  In our morning briefing the other day it was stated =
that
  everyone would have to have fixed IP addresses to do this (that part I
  understand, since the restrictions are not to apply to everyone) and =
we
  would have to have a proxy server.

  I actually don't know what a proxy server even is, but the IT director
  said it's complicated.   So first of all, is it true that we would =
need
  a proxy server?   And secondly, if so, is it complicated?

  Alternatively, is there any other way to do it?  We want to leave =
people
  like directors and IT with full internet access.   Most boxes have no
  external IP address and a dynamic internal one.  The only ones with
  fixed internal ones are people who pcAW in to their desktop, which for
  all I know might only be me because when they set up an additional
  desktop for me recently they left the internal address dynamic and I
  couldn't get to it.

   I agree
with the proxy =
though not the=20
fixed address.  Use proxy authentication so that the rules apply
to = users=20
and not the computers.
 
   You
shouldn't need a fixed =
internal IP=20
for pcAW unless this is a pcAW restriction.  As long as you have =
dynamic=20
DNS or similar internal name resolution you should be able to use a = dynamic=20
address.  Just refer to the machine by name instead of =
IP.
