DHCP (General questions)

What is the difference between MyIP and BindIP?

Hi.

MyIP is strictly informational, it's not used anywhere. BindIP defines if you will bind the component on some specific interface (assuming you have more than one interface on your computer).

Thanks. One final question. This is not a real world situation but rather one used in a test environment. I have a PC running Windows XP Professional, with two NICs with static IPs on the same subnet. I would like to run two seperate programs, each with a DCHP control bound (BindIP) to one of the NICs. Should this work? When I tried it, the 1st program bound to the 1st NIC would always work but the 2nd would only work if there was no physical connection on the 1st NIC. Ethereal would show the DHCPREQUEST coming into the 2nd NIC but nothing going out.

Ray,

to be honest, your idea is pretty much straightforward and should work as is.

As if it doesn't... Hmm. Not sure what to say.. We will declare it as a bug, but I can't promise if/when it will be debugged and fixed since it's a free component.

Understood. In this test environment I need very limited DHCP server functionality and will probably just write my own control to accomplish that. I saw your control and thought it would do the trick. It really is a great control, specially at the price. It was a good learning tool as it let me watch the DHCP protocol in action via Ethereal.
Thanks
