Slightly OT - DHCP Server Address?

Sep 07, 2005 4 Replies

I would like to learn the IP address of the server that is feeding my system its DHCP license on DSL startup. How can I do this? I have a Westell modem and its management web page will tell me the DNS servers but not DHCP. I have set my modem and PC NIC card to "share the same IP".



Thanks.



How will that tell you which DHCP server assigned you your IP?

It's possible he means what he said. But it's possible he means what you said

If it don't want to tell you, you'll have to use some external service like

I think you mean "clone MAC".

Regardless of what my IP is, somehow a DHCP server answered my call and assigned an IP number to my MAC. Somehow my DHCP client knows the IP number of the host that distributed the IP. But I can't find a way to discover the DHCP server (via WMI, etc).....

Well, since you are clearly running WinDoze XP, type "ipconfig/all" in a command prompt window.
