[dba-Tech] Win7/DHCP question

Gustav.

Thanks for the prompt reply, although I'm not sure what it implies. Here's
the current setup: 2 machines, one laptop running Windows 8.1, which
connects just fine. Machine #2 is an AMD-64 running Windows 7.

Does the fact that the laptop connects to the net just fine imply that DCHP
server is in fact running on the router?

How can I check the DHCP settings on the Windows 7 box?

And while I'm at it, has anyone successfully set up a home network that
uses both Windows 8 and Windows 7 machines?
