X-Comment: Discussion of DHCP for IPv4

Dear Sir,

I beg your pardon for my question. But I know you are the expert in this field. So, may I have a question to you? And hope you could give a hand.

Currently, I am developing a WAN  interface card  for providing IP connection.

I can receive the dynamic IP address from ISP site by using PPP connect. However I can't send the IP address up to WINSOCK layer.
To solve the problem, I wrote a simulated DHCP server under my driver.
Therefore I can use WIN95's WINIPCFG program to initate the DHCP client to request dynamic IP address.

However I don't think that this way is a good methodology for general users.   

So, dose it have any API to allow programmer to initate the DHCP client under WIN95? 

any help would be appreciated and thank in advance
