It is standard in a Windows network environment for nearly all settings to be configured in such a way that required parameters can be requested via DHCP. You can check your Windows settings by clicking on . Select the entry for TCP/IP on your network adapter and open Properties. You can now see on the various tabs whether there are special entries for e.g. the IP address or the standard gateway. If you wish to have all the values assigned by the DHCP server, just delete the corresponding entries.
If a client is to use a different parameter from the one assigned (e.g. for a standard gateway), this parameter must be configured at the workstation itself. The client will then ignore the corresponding parameter(s) in those assigned by the DHCP server. Under Windows this can be effected for example via the properties of the network environment. Click on . Select the entry for TCP/IP on your network adapter and open Properties. You can now enter the desired values on the various tabs.
