<h1 class="topictitle1">Enable DHCP for OS/2 Warp 4 clients</h1>
<div><div class="section">To enable DHCP, follow these steps:</div>
<ol><li><span>Select <span class="uicontrol">TCP/IP Configuration</span>.</span></li>
<li><span>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Obtain IP address automatically</span> radio
button.</span></li>
<li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><p>You can start the client manually from an OS/2<sup>®</sup> window by entering DHCPCD. You can
also update the client configuration file (mptn\etc\dhcpcd.cfg) to allow the
client to request DHCP options.</p>
<p>Warp also has a utility for tracking
leases. From an OS/2 window,
enter DHCPMON, or select the DHCP monitor icon in the TCP/IP folder. You can
end the client by entering DHCPMON -t. </p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This does not issue a DHCP
release, it shuts the DHCP client down so that it no longer renews
a lease.</div>
<p>You can also view the client's DHCP log file to view the
client/server interaction and to see the options passed back by the server.
The file name is configurable in the client config file. Some systems have
a log in the root directory with file name of dhcpcd.log. In addition, previously
obtained lease and option information is stored by the client in the file
mptn\etc\dhcpc.db. If you ever need to restart the client "from scratch",
you should erase the mptn\etc\dhcpc.db file.</p>
