Windows NT 4.0 Server
To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows NT 4.0 server, perform the following steps:
1. At the Windows NT server, open the Program Manager window and double-click the
Network Administrator icon.
2. Double-click the DHCP Manager icon to open this window.
3. Select Server and select Server Add.
4. Type the server IP address, then click OK to return to the DHCP Manager window.
5. In the list of DHCP servers, click on the server you have just added, then select Scope
and select Create.
6. Select Set up the IP Address Pool. In the IP Address Pool section, set up the IP
address range by typing the beginning IP address in the Start Address box and the
ending IP address in the End Address box. Also type the subnet mask for the subnet to
which the IP address pool applies. The starting and ending IP addresses define the end
points of the address pool assigned to this scope.
NOTE
If desired, you can exclude ranges of IP addresses within a scope.
7. In the Lease Duration section, select Unlimited, then select OK. HP recommends that
all printers be assigned infinite leases to avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that
change. Be aware, however, that selecting an unlimited lease duration for the scope
causes all clients in that scope to have infinite leases. If you want clients on your
network to have finite leases, you can set the duration to a finite time, but you should
configure all printers as reserved clients for the scope.
8. Skip this step if you have assigned unlimited leases in the previous step. Otherwise,
select Scope and select Add Reservations to set up your printers as reserved clients.
For each printer, perform the following steps in the Add Reserved Clients window to set
up a reservation for that printer:
a. Type the selected IP address.
b. Obtain the MAC address or hardware address from the configuration page, and type
this address in the Unique Identifier box.
c. Type the client name (any name is acceptable).
d. Select Add to add the reserved client. To delete a reservation, in the DHCP
Manager window, select Scope and select Active Leases. In the Active Leases
window, click on the reservation you want to delete and select Delete.
9. Select Close to return to the DHCP Manager window.
10. Skip this step if you are not planning to use WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service).
Otherwise perform the following steps when configuring your DHCP server:
a. From the DHCP Manager window, select DHCP Options and select one of the
following:
● Scope—if you want Name Services only for the selected scope.
● Global—if you want Name Services for all scopes.
b. Add the server to the Active Options list. From the DHCP Options window, select
WINS/NBNS Servers (044) from the Unused Options list. Select Add, then select
OK. A warning may appear requesting that you set the node type. You do this in
step 10d.
