DHCP Manager
The DHCP Manager icon is added to the Network Administration
Tools group in Program Manager when you set up a Windows NT
Server computer to be a DHCP server. You must use DHCP Manager to
perform the following basic tasks:
- Create one or more DHCP scopes to begin
providing DHCP services
- Define properties for the scope, including
the lease duration and IP address ranges to be distributed to
potential DHCP clients in the scope
- Define default values for options such as the
default gateway, DNS server, or WINS server to be assigned
together with an IP address, or add any custom
options
The procedures for completing these tasks are described in
the following sections.
To start DHCP Manager
- From Program Manager, double-click the DHCP
Manager icon in the Network Administration group.
DHCP Manager window shows the local computer the first time
you start DHCP Manager. Subsequently, the window shows a list of the
DHCP servers to which DHCP Manager has connected, plus their scopes.
The status bar reports the current DHCP Manager
activities.

Important When you are working with DHCP
Manager, all computer names are DNS host names only. The full path
specification might be used, such as accounting.trey.com, or a name
might be specified relative to the local domain. In the previous
example, other computers in the trey.com DNS domain can refer simply
to accounting. The DNS host name is not necessarily the same as the
NetBIOS computer name used in Windows-based networking.
To connect to a DHCP server
- From the Server menu, choose the Add command
to display the Add DHCP Server To Known Server List dialog
box.

- In the DHCP Server box, type the DNS short
name or IP address for the DHCP server in which you want to
connect, and then choose the OK button.
For example, type an address such as 11.1.26.30 or type a DNS
name, such as corp01.trey.com, in this box.
To disconnect from a selected DHCP server
- From the Server menu, choose
Remove.
– Or – Press Del.
