2 nic's dhcp client on one / static on the other 1

[kodonnel]

Hi. NT 4.0 Sp6a. My ISP has changed configurations, and now I must use dhcp to obtain an IP address. I want to run a proxy sharing program on the NT box, with 2 NIC's, one a dhcp client, and the other a static ip address.

The ip address tab won't let me make the either nic a dhcp client, the choice is greyed out.

Any ideas, and is this possible at all?

TIA

Kevin

Is this a server? If so, what are the chances that DHCP Server service is installed. If that service is installed the DHCP client choice becomes unavailable - you cannot be both a server and a client. If this box is also your DHCP server, you will need to move that service to another box.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Voyager1. The problem was that dhcp server services were installed, once removed everything was fine.

thanks again.
