Hi there,
Enabling DHCP at the Client
To enable the Windows NT DHCP client, you must log on as administrator at
the Windows NT client.
Normally, you enable DHCP as part of the installation procedure
for Microsoft TCP/IP, however, you can use this procedure if you have
manually configured TCP/IP:
- Run Control Panel and choose Network.
The Network Settings dialog box appears.
- Under Installed Network Software, select TCP/IP Protocol and then
choose configure.
The TCP/IP configuration dialog box appears.
- Select Enable Automatic DHCP Configuration.
A Microsoft (MS) TCP/IP message appears, indicating that the DHCP
Protocol attempts to configure the server automatically during system
initialization.
- Choose Yes.
A MS TCP/IP Configuration dialog box appears, displaying current TCP/IP
configuration parameters. The IP Address and Subnet Mask boxes are not
available (grayed out) and the manually configured values are no longer
displayed.
- Choose OK to return to the Network Settings dialog box.
- Choose OK again.
- Shut down and restart the computer.
To enable DHCP on a Windows for Workgroups client if TCP/IP is not
installed yet:
- Use Network Setup to install the MS TCP/IP-32 3.11 protocol.
- In the MS TCP/IP Configuration dialog box, select the Enable Automatic
DHCP Configuration check box, and choose Continue.
- Restart the computer to initialize TCP/IP using DHCP.
To enable DHCP on a Windows for Workgroups client if TCP/IP is installed:
- To access the Network Drivers dialog box, run Network Setup.
- Select Microsoft TCP/IP-32 3.11, and then choose Setup.
- In the MS TCP/IP Configuration dialog box, select the Enable Automatic
DHCP Configuration check box, and choose continue.
A message box appears indicating that the configuration of DHCP
overrides any values established locally.
- Choose Yes.
- To initialize TCP/IP using DHCP information, restart the computer.
