I'm trying to set up a Windows NT 4 Server and I want it to be doing the DHCP thing. However, when I try to startup the service, it just errors out. Any ideas on how to get it working?

Install dhcp through the network neighbourhood (rightclick, then properties). Go to services and ad the DHCP service, next reboot. After the reboot there is a dhcp-manager in your administrative tools.

You can then create your SCOPE (range of ip-adresses, subnet, etc.) After that you have to ACTIVATE it. For more info read the help in the dhcp-manager.

This should get you started!

Good luck...

Ditto, above post. If it still fails look in the event viewer for more information. Sound like you are not configured properly.
Make sure that you have defined and activated the scope.
