Hi,
you'll find a bootp server with DHCP extensions on
http://www.shgms.ac.uk/~preston/tools.htm, works with m$ tcpip32b.
I've had lots of fun though if the WFWG users are in a dos box when
the lease expires. Also, in c.o.l.n there was a reference to a boop
client for dos/WFWG : http://www.morder.com/perin
