Under the 'WINS Address' tab, the 'Enable DHCP for Windows Resolution'
option must also be activated if you wish to use Windows networks via IP
with name resolution via NBNS. In this case, the DHCP server must also have
an NBNS entry.
Priority for computer—overwriting an assignment
If a computer uses parameters other than those assigned to it (e.g. a different
default gateway), these parameters must be set directly on the workstation
computer. The computer then ignores the corresponding parameters
assigned to it by the DHCP server.
Under Windows, this can, for example, be performed via the properties of the
network environment.
Click Start Settings Control Panel Network . Select the 'TCP/IP'
entry for your network adapter and open Properties .
You can now enter the desired values by selecting the various tabs.
The assignment of IP addresses to the various computers can be checked
using the 'Setup/DHCP/Table-DHCP' item in the DHCP module. This table
contains the assigned IP address, the MAC address, the validity, the name of
the computer (if available) and the type of address assignment.
The 'Type' field specifies how the address was assigned. This field can
assume the following values:
new
The computer has made its initial request. The DHCP server verifies the
uniqueness of the address that is to be assigned to the computer.
unknown
While verifying uniqueness, it was determined that the address has
already been assigned to another computer. Unfortunately, the DHCP
server has no means of obtaining additional information on this
computer.
status
A computer has informed the DHCP server that it has a fixed IP address.
This address can no longer be used.
dynamic
The DHCP server assigned an address to the computer.
