[dba-Tech] Win7/DHCP question

Hi Arthur:

Answer: Yes.

Aside: Could not resist to re-post this link as it sounds so typical. If I did not have a number of application development and support gigs, the linked article would describe my life in IT to a "T". ;-)

OTOH, I did not loss my passion for tech but did loss my passion for clients...retirement is wonderful and not sleeping due to stress or late night jobs, are a thing of the past.

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?
