So if you need to get to a Mac at your home from on the road, it will be much easier to access that system, even if it's using DHCP via a cable modem or DSL.. Now, there was no information about how it deals with ports, firewalls, and all the other issues that make remote access so much fun. (InformationWeek)
Symantec outgrows AV name Jun 15, 2007
NAC is offered in two modes: serverless, which Symantec calls Self-Enforcement, whereby an agent on the endpoint does the check locally and quarantines the machine if it is found to be non-compliant with predetermined policy; or with a NAC server called the Enforcer, in which case DHCP requests are intercepted and the machine is subjected to an authentication and checking process, again with a quarantining option. In the latter scenario, the NAC infrastructure can use the 802. (Computer Business Review)

Dynamic DNS and Windows 2000 Server DHCP Jun 4, 2007
Takeaway: If your Windows 2000 Server still networks with older clients, you'll need to manually configure DHCP in order to update DNS records for those clients. Here's what you need to know about enabling DHCP to update DNS records for all your clients ... Fortunately, Microsoft provides an option to allow the Windows 2000 Server dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) service to update records in DNS on a client's behalf. (TechRepublic)
Review: D-Link 3G Mobile Router for EV-DO Networks Jun 2, 2007
Out of the box, you don t really even need to configure it, as the built-in DHCP server is enabled with a default IP address pool of 100 addresses. The router does support reservation for mapping specific IP addresses to specific computers on the network based upon their , a feature I really like; the LAN configuration page shows you a list of Host names, IP addresses assigned, and their corresponding MAC addresses.

Standards Group OKs E-Mail Validation Spec May 26, 2007
Silvas said he doesn't care much for the existing spam blocking methods, such as IP black listing, because IP addresses can change on a DHCP () network. "Just because an IP has sent out spam in the past isn't always bad, and just because it's flagged as good doesn't mean I want it. That really hits hard on small businesses whose e-mail is legit because if they are on a DHCP connection, they could get blocked," he said. (CIO Information Network)

Authorizing DHCP and RIS servers in Windows 2000 Server May 7, 2007
Takeaway: You can't be too careful -- and when you're dealing with services such as DHCP, you never know who may be on the other end of the network ... The security issue is even more problematic with services like DHCP and RIS. Theoretically, every user with access to the network could install a DHCP server to give out illegal IP numbers ... Well, almost nothing, since all Windows 2000 DHCP and RIS servers have to be authorized before they can start providing their usual services. (TechRepublic)
Opinion: IPv6 Switch Will Be Onerous May 7, 2007
Default gateways, which were designated either explicitly in endpoint network configuration or more commonly assigned via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Version 4, are now distributed through nodes that listen on the network for address assignment and other available services. This means many troubleshooting routines that network managers now use as second nature must be relearned in an IPv6 world. (eWeek)

Instead, you can locate and access the unit for the first time by entering its name via the Windows Run command (the Myshare addresses itself automatically through DHCP). It's then a matter of accessing an administration page with your browser (which we had no trouble doing with Firefox). (SmallBusinessComputing)
DHCP offers a better solution because it assigns addresses and other IP properties like DNS servers automatically when the computer boots. Using DHCP, however, requires a DHCP server ... In a small network you might not have the capital for a Windows 2000 Server system to do DHCP. As long as you don't need routable public addresses, however, you don't need a DHCP server, because Windows 2000 supports Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). (TechRepublic)
Windows shops will also have a minimum install option called Server Core for server roles including DHCP, file, AD and DNS. IT administrators can set the server as a file or print server only, for example, which locks down the server to prevent any other function on that server such as Web surfing, Snell said. Server core is for a specific set of goals, a limited version for file servers, domain controllers, DHCP and DNS Servers, just the bare minimum tasks, according to Minasi who has tested...
