Find and display a DHCP server's IP address
Authored by: jsluys@mac.com on Jan 31, '06 07:30:17AM

I usually just go to my network preferences, in system preferences. The router listed should be the same as the DHCP-server. A lot easier than remembering any commands...

Find and display a DHCP server's IP address

Good thought, but not 100% correct. The DHCP server does not have to be the same as the router address. In a small network, i.e. at home, this will almost always be true, but in a larger network, the DHCP server is often another machine and not the router.

this is not the case... your dhcp server and router may not even be in the same subnet depending on how your network is configured.

A router is a router and a server is a server. Don't confuse the two. A router *may* have a DHCP server built into it as well as a switch, but it need only be a router. And Excel is not a database regardless of how many people want to use it as one.

The DHCP server and router are not necessarily always going to be same thing.
