<h1 class="topictitle1">Check MAC address and DHCP lease</h1>
<div><div class="section">Windows NT<sup>®</sup> and Windows<sup>®</sup> 2000
clients also have a utility that displays the client's MAC address and DHCP
lease information. To check the DHCP lease for a Windows NT and Windows 2000
client, follow these steps:</div>
<ol><li><span>Open a Command Prompt window.</span></li>
<li><span>Run <span class="uicontrol">IPCONFIG /ALL</span>.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This utility does not dynamically update the
displayed information, so it will be necessary to rerun the utility to view
updated status. You can use the same utility with different parameters to
release and renew a lease (IPCONFIG /RELEASE and IPCONFIG /RENEW). Run IPCONFIG
/? from an MS-DOS Command Prompt to see all of the possible parameters for
the command.</div>
<p>Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Windows 2000 DHCP clients need to be
configured if you want the DHCP server to update DNS A records on behalf of
the client. You might want to delegate updates to the DHCP server if your
network has standard existing Windows clients like Windows 95
and NT, because these clients currently do not update DNS A records. This
might simplify your DNS administration because DNS updates will originate
from the DHCP server for all clients, rather than having some clients update
their own records.</p>
