[dba-Tech] Win7/DHCP question

Arthur,

Looks like you got your main problem fixed. I'm just responding to your
question about home networks. Ours has a Windows 8.1 netbook, several
desktops/laptops/netbooks running Windows 7, two iPhones, three iPods, two
Android phones, a couple VirtualBox virtual computers and various Microsfot
Virtual PCs running various OSes. The NetGear router we now have seems to
handle them all pretty well.
