Netware 5 DHCP vs NT4.0 DHCP

[dan]

I am somewhat familiar with DHCP on NT.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have not installed it on Netware.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was wondering if someone could give a comparison.&nbsp;&nbsp;Particularly, NT does not seem to have a way to export or search the list of MAC addresses to find an IP or vice versa.&nbsp;&nbsp;(Since the file remains &quot;in use&quot; while the DHCP server is running.)&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this the same situation with Netware, or is there a better reporting feature?<br>Dan

I have taken the time to learn about the DHCP on Novell.&nbsp;&nbsp;I must say that I am quite impressed because it uses Novell's NDS to store the information.&nbsp;&nbsp;In conjunction, as users are given a dynamic address, the information on the Users Mac address etc is also stored in NDS.&nbsp;&nbsp;Giving you a central repsository and one location to manage everything from.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, if you feel comfortable with using NT's DHCP, you can always setup the Novell end as a secondary.&nbsp;&nbsp; <p>Mark C.
