How can I ping a computer and get information about if dhcp is enabled on it or not??
 
if you're running windowsxp.
start->run>cmd (you'll be at the dos prompt) type

C:xxxx>IPCONFIG /ALL
will show if dhcp is enabled or not.

to ping, just do
C:xxxxxx>ping <your ip-address>
 
yes but I want to sitt on my computer and like ping an other coumputer and get information if dchp is enabled or not on the computer I ping.
 
If your router assigns DHCP addresses in a certain range and assuming no human has also assigned addresses in that range, (they shouldn't) then any address in that range is a DHCP address

example your router is 192.168.1.1 and it hands out 100 addresses starting at 192.168.1.100

any address below 100 or over 200 is manually set, and (assuming humans who know not to hard code in the DHCP range)any address within 100 to 200 is DHCP

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
