from a non-server, try dhcploc.exe - see what it reports?

Does XP Pro actually have a DHCP server running? I am somewhat confused. I have 4 PCs all running XP Pro. One is acting soley as my internet gateway and has my broadband modem connected to it. It has Internet Connection Sharing set up on it and all the other PCs are configured to use the internet connection on the gateway. They are all also configured to obtain an IP address and DNS server automatically. The gateway is configured with a static IP address. My problem is that I've been trying to add a Sun Ultra 5 to the network and get it to use DHCP but it keeps reporting that it can't find a DHCP server. So when I started looking more closely at the gateway, I saw that there doesn't appear to be a DHCP server service running - only a client. I also tried installing the 2003 adminpack on the gateway machine and that also tells me that the DHCP Server service is not running. I'm confused - something MUST be allocating IP addresses to the XP machines, so is there a DHCP server running on my gateway, and if so, where is it hidden? If not, how are the IP addresses being allocated? Thanks in advance for any help. Regards Emilio
