Sorry for the overdue reply to this, but I've been on vacation and just now catching up... Bret's idea touches on a fringe that may require further consideration. Using a local host's address as its own default gateway seems to have a lot of popularity in dial-up (check out "ipconfig /all" or "winipconfig" on a Mickeysoft PC's PPP adapter). It has also found use in avoiding renumbering hassles as default gateway addresses change. I saw no responses to Bret's query beyond that attached. Anyone else see a need? Is Bret's issue a MS NT limitation (scuttle of late sez MS seems rather free-willed with implementations of some IP standards) or is this a simple case of DHCP v4 never did it that way and never will? -dave At 05:45 AM 2/16/96 -0500, you wrote: >bclark@ccmailpc.ctron.com writes: >> >> >> Any suggestions on how I can make a dhcp client use its own IP address >> as the default gateway using dhcp server on an NT box?
