[NTLUG:Discuss] if you can stand any more on dhcpcd

[Fred James]

ANG1105 is DHCP server at home
Windows2000 machine is DHCP server at work
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 at both locations
Do I personally control the DHCP server at either end - no.  I used to 
use a Linksys at home, and I controlled that, but the corporation owns 
and controls the ANG1105

The ANG1105 does two things - if the request is addressing something on 
the VAN, it routes through the VAN; if the address is something outside 
the VAN, it routes to my ISP (ATT.).
I have verified that by visiting sites that would be restricted within 
the corporate Intranet.
