Can I install DHCP server on windows XP , if yes please tell me How??

Answer 1

You sure can. Most of the situations where I've dealt with this situation is when I was setting up a proxy server, such as Winroute that has a built in DHCP server. However, I did google this and I found some other softwares that you can download and try. I'm assuming it will install like normal software, but will require some manual configuration. How you configure this server greatly depends if it has access to the outside world or not. If it doesn't or you have a proxy / NAT router, you can assign anything to the IP range, DNS and default gateway within your internal or non-connecting network. This will work as long as you are consistent and make sure the IPs point to the appropriate devices such as DNS and default gateways. If you are using a set of public IPs, the same rule applies, but you'll have less control IP addressing schemes.

This document describes how to set up Windows XP for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which lets you connect to the Internet using the following services:
ResNet: Provides students in the Thunderbird, Place Vanier, Totem, Ritsumeikan-UBC, Gage, Green College, St. John's, and VST residences with a high-speed connection to the campus network and the Internet.
DirectNet: A high-speed, network connectivity service that is only available on the UBC campus.
Internet Access Ports: Allows those with Netinfo or Interchange accounts to plug in a laptop computer and access the campus network and the Internet. Internet Access Ports are currently available in the David Lam Library (main level), Koerner Library (mainly level 1), Law Library (all levels), Instructional Resource Centre (IRC), Agora Lounge (in the MacMillan Building), Buchanan (Block A), Frederic Lasserre Building, Liu Centre, Scarfe Building, Wesbrook Building.
Wireless: One of the largest Campus Wi-Fi Networks in the world! We have more than 1550 access points (APs) deployed in over 150 buildings covering most of the 1000-acre campus.
Note: To use these high-speed Internet services, you require a laptop/desktop, a Network Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. Network Interface Cards and cables are available at the UBC Bookstore and other computer stores.

Warning: If you are currently using a laptop to connect to a LAN (Local Area Network), the following Internet access port configuration settings may replace all, or part of, any existing network configuration you have on your laptop. Be sure to copy down your current network configuration settings and addresses before you re-configure your laptop for use with one of the above services.
