The arguments in favor of the Internet sound, at a decade interval, like an echo of those that were previously formulated in praise of the Minitel. This passion for information technology is displayed in a context where ambitious growth rates are not physically sustainable, due to market saturation in rich countries, the progressive depletion of […]
The automation and dematerialization of monetary exchanges are not objectives per se, but are solely means to improve the productivity of financial institutions. In this regard, an overabundance of standards, and sometimes their competition, may constitute a barrier to the establishment of electronic commerce. Even if some manufacturers think they can profit from this situation, […]
Throughout the history of the United States, one of the greatest political tensions has been that which balances personal privacy against the need for law enforcement to protect individuals and the country as a whole.
That tension has been with us from the very earliest days of the Republic. The Founding Fathers were extremely cognizant of […]

This will return the current number of rows (well actually […]
To finish the development of our Spy Net application, we must install a Web server of some sort onto our machines. We must set up our machine as a Web server so that we can leverage the deployment of the interface. The installation of Personal Web Server (PWS) for Windows 98 is covered in this […]

Because it is usually implemented in a read-only memory (ROM) chip, the BOOTP protocol client is a simple, concise bit of code. The exchange of UDP messages between the client and the BOOTP server consists of a series of requests and replies. The same packet format is used for both types of messages with an […]
Implicitly Releasing Configuration Information
In a DHCP environment, configuration information usually is granted for a set amount of time, called a lease. When the lease expires and the client has made no attempt to renew it, the configuration information can be used for another client. This can happen if a computer is moved from one subnet […]
Similar to BOOTP, DHCP uses a request/reply mechanism, and the packet format is almost the same for both to provide for backward compatibility. The layout of the packet used by DHCP looks very much like the layout of the BOOTP packet, with a few exceptions. The first 11 fields are the same. However, the last […]
Creating an Address Scope
After you have authorized a server on the network, you can create a scope of addresses that the DHCP server can administer to clients. From the MMC utility, click once on the server you want to administer, and then select New Scope from the Action menu. The New Scope Wizard pops up. […]
Installing a DHCP server on Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Servers is just as simple as most application installs. However, you’ll need to have some information ready before you begin the installation. You will need to know the range of addresses that the server will administer and lease to clients. If you have any servers […]
The Windows 2000/2003 DHCP servers provide support for BOOTP clients. The Default BOOTP user class of options is used to configure the information that is supplied to these clients. Although standard BOOTP servers require that the server be configured in advance with a table of client hardware addresses and corresponding IP addresses, Windows 2000/Server 2003 […]
Many options that can be used for BOOTP and DHCP clients were discussed. The Windows 2000/2003 DHCP service enables you to configure which options will be offered to clients of the service. To configure the options, expand the MMC tree of DHCP servers to locate the server you want to manage. Click that server to […]
If a client is configured to use DHCP, what happens if no DHCP server is available on the network? Starting with Windows 98, Microsoft Windows clients can use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). This is not a solution for a large network. It is for use on small LANs, such as a home office with […]

If you are using Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003 Enterprise or Datacenter servers, you can use the clustering feature for DHCP. This allows two separate DHCP servers to be administered as a single DHCP server. Windows 2000/2003 clustering supports a failover mode in which a service running on one computer can be […]
Many small- to medium-sized networks use the router that provides Internet access as a DHCP server, using it to provide network addresses to client PCs. Configuring a router to act as a DHCP server is not difficult (most routers are configured to provide IP addresses by default), but you should be familiar with the process […]
It delights us to bring in to you a modernization in Web design by means of a novel idea and come within reach of Web design. You have estimated it correct - it is known as Web 2.0 patterns - creating Internet comfortable handier, by means of soothe improved design alternatives. Whether you are the […]
Configuring WINS Clients
To use WINS, a client must first be configured with the address of a WINS server. This can be done in one of two ways. First, you could configure the client manually, using a network properties page for the particular Windows operating system. Second, you could configure a DHCP server to provide the […]
