DHCP Question

[M P]

Hi!

I have enabled DHCP on my network and assign a particular number of IPs that
is equal to the number of my client PC. Is DHCP on Windows 2000 require
authentication before acquiring a lease IP? or its just giving IP address
once there was a request?


regards,

Mark

Why in the world would you limit the number of addresses to the number
of PC's? What happens if you change a network card - amongst other
things?

Just gives them out as requested.
