The Microsofot TCP/ip clinet (in wfw 3.11 TCP/IP 3.11a) caches its network infomration in a file \windows\dhcp.bin. This means that after the PC has successfully downloaded its DHCP information onces, that it can boot without a server being present (at least until thge lease expoires). Note: this has the side effect, that once a client boots from a given DHCP server, it will always try to boot from a given DHCP server. > -- Regards.
