You can get DHCP patches to a standard bootp server - I'm using it here,
and it works great (you need Microsoft TCP/IP-32 3.11a for it to work -
there seems to be a bug in the older one). You can get the latest bootpd
at
firewall.mc.com:/pub/bootp-2.4.3.tar.Z
and the DHCP patches at
nimbus.anu.edu.au:/pub/tridge/samba/contributed/DHCP.patch
This has the advantage of being a regular bootp server for those machines
that can use standard bootp, as well as a DHCP server for machines
running Micro$oft products, which we all know are special and must have
their own standards.... :-)
