Re: Need help with DHCP Client & Name servers

A few more tidbits;

Your computer must be in the same subnet as your router's LAN side IP address. (anything outside your computer's subnet is sent to the default route, so the default route must be resolvable via ARP for your computer to be able to send packets to it.

If you already have a sem-configured DHCP, you may be able to get your router's IP address in two ways:

$TCPIP SHOW ROUTE

route
AN 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

will give you your router's IP address (in my case it is 10.0.0.1)

Another way is to do:

$TCPIP SHOW ARP

This gives a list of IPs and ethernet addresses that your computer has spoken to recently, and if you did get a DHCP dialogue going, your compuyer shoudl know the IP address of the DHCP server (your router in this case and this will show up in the ARP list).
