Scroll down the program output and find a line that starts with "DHCP Server." This line contains an IP address of the DHCP Server. For example, " DHCP Server . . . :193.165.1.1 "
The port 67 and port 68 are used by DHCP and the DHCP clients.
You haven't indicated what operating system you are using. For windows, using the 'ipconfig /all' command will show you what the DHCP server address is.
dhcp has to be authorized
The use of a DHCP relay agent is an agent that relays DHCP between DHCP clients and DHCP servers on different IP networks. The DHCP relay agent is compliant with RFC 1542.
router (config)# ip dhcp servicerouter (dhcp-config)# ip dhcp pool router (dhcp-config)# network
DHCP server must be assigned a static IP address...On a Windows computer you can find out the IP address of the DHCP server that assigned your current IP address by opening a command prompt and typing "ipconfig /all".
(DHCP) Dynamic host Configuration Protocol. The Default Port Number is: for DHCP client : 546 for DHCP server : 547
If you want to put your ip manually you have to disable the dhcp server. Hirothegood says: I need to add on to this- I have not been able to find a way to disable it. I can't find where to disable DHCP so I could have wireless on my DS. Can someone please help? Answer You do not have to disable DHCP to use a locally assigned address in a device. You just need to make sure that the address has not been assigned by DHCP. You will typically find that DHCP has a range of addresses it can assign from 100 up (maybe 50 or 100 above). You can pick an address below the range DHCP is responsible for, and it should work. I.E. Your network gateway is 192.168.1.1 Dhcp will probably start assigning addresses at 192.168.1.100 and go on up to 192.168.1.199. Just manually assign an address of 192.168.1.75 or something else below 100, and you should be ok.
yes DHCP require the authorization of the dhcp server before IP addresses can be allocated because until we authorize DHCP server the network does not know who is the dhcp server for the subnet. The DHCP server broadcasts the information to all.
Those are the four phases of acquiring an IP address via DHCP. More information would be needed to indicate which of the 4 phases are being used at this point.
