Hi all,

I'm looking for a DHCP server, or DHCP relay agent that can work on a
Windows 98 desktop. My problem is the following: I have segments all Windows
98 (no NT machines) and I need to provide DHCP for them. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance
 
Faustino,

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but going on my assumption
about your intentions you should know that there is a DHCP service in
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). If your intent is to give your Win98 PCs
an IP address across a LAN, ICS will do it. You should also know that
broadband routers also have a DHCP service in them, should you decide to go
this route.

Good Luck.
 
If it were me, I'd get a cheapo router/firewall that can do DHCP as well as
NAT.

Same here, if all I wanted from DHCP was an address. But DHCP can do more.
 
With Win98? Forget it. The real question is why do you need to prvide
DHCP? If it is a valid and justifiable reason, then that justifies buying a
Server, otherwise there isn't much point in it. DHCP is always an "option"
or maybe a "luxury", but I cannot think of a reason for it to be required.

Download 602LAN Suit (do a google search for it). It acts as a DHCP server
as well as internet and email Works fine on W98 and is free for up to 5
users.
