7.1. Setup your DHCP server

Like for the UNIX/Linux based approach, you need several information and data before setting everything. First of all, you need the MAC address of your PA-RISC box. Please read these instructions. You are going to need a lifimage file. Please read these instructions.

Then, you have to enable DHCP service on your Windows™ 2k box. You can do that by going into the Control Panel then Add/remove programs then Windows components and finally Networking Services. There you will ask for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

You need to setup the DHCP service now. Launch the DHCP admin tool by going into the Conttrol Panel, Admin Tools and DHCP.
