Using the utility software

BOOTP (Windows)

BOOTP is a Windows utility for assigning IP parameters to a Network Card. When BOOTP is run on a computer, a BOOTP request from a Net- work Card causes IP parameters that match the MAC address of the Net- work Card to be assigned to the Network Card.

Requirements

Computer must have TCP/IP installed and enabled.

Network Card must be connected to the same subnetwork as the com- puter running BOOTP.

Operating system: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0 or 2000.

Note

See Appendix A - Installing and Setting Up Network Protocol (Win- dows) and the applicable Windows documentation for information about installing TCP/IP under Windows.

BOOTP does not operate properly on a computer running a DHCP server.
