Well, if it happens to be a valid DHCP server, meaning one that the company is actually using, then all clients that gets its IP address from it, also has the IP address of the DHCP server. WinNT: use ipconfig /all from command prompt Win9x: use winipcfg Then you can match the IP address of the DHCP server to a computer name using WINS, if available.

I'm working ground zero with a client who fired their last consultant and has no idea what a DHCP server is let alone where it is. I need to locate it so that I can turn it off and use another device to be DHCP server. Any ideas? (besides checking every device on the network.) John R.
