[dba-Tech] Win7/DHCP question

Hi Arthur

It looks like your DHCP server is running.
If so, you could try the automatic repair wizard for the network.

The fastest check is to open a cmd box an run: ipconfig /all
That'll list all network adapters and their settings. Do the same on one of the other machines. Values for the Ethernet adapters should be similar.

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?
