Is there dhcp server in Vista? When I'm connecting my laptop (WinXP) to
desktop computer (Vista, static IPs)using WLAN I have to specify static IP on laptop. I'm using it in many diffrent networks and I would like it to obtain IP on its own. |

Hi Rafal,
Vista doesn't have DHCP server in that. Only Windows Server editions has DHCPServer software. If you need to have static IP address only when you are at home, then the best solution is use "Alternate Configuration". When there is no DHCPServer on the network then the Alternate IP address configuration will be applied. Thanks -RamaSubbu SK "Rafał Zięba" wrote in message ... Is there dhcp server in Vista?
