Using DHCP

You can use the machine in a DHCP environment. You can also register the machine NetBIOS name on a WINS server when it is running.

Supported DHCP servers are Microsoft DHCP Server included with Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003/2003/2008/2008 R2, and the DHCP server included with NetWare and UNIX.
If you do not use a WINS server, reserve the machine's IP address in a DHCP server so the same IP address is assigned every time.
To use a WINS server, change the WINS server setting to "On" using the control panel.
If you are not using a WINS server, use a DHCP server to allocate the IPv4 address to the machine.
If there is more than one DHCP server, use the same setting for all servers. The machine operates using data from the DHCP server that responds first.
DHCP relay-agent is not supported. If you use DHCP relay-agent on a network via ISDN, it will result in increased line charges. This is because your computer connects to the ISDN line whenever a packet is transferred from the machine.
The IPv4 address allocated to the machine by the DHCP server is printed on the configuration page. For details about printing the configuration page, see Print List .
DHCP servers can operate in an IPv6 environment, but they cannot be configured to allocate IPv6 addresses or obtain host names.
