Windows NT 4.0 Server
To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows NT 4.0 server, perform the
following steps:
1. At the Windows NT server, open the Program Manager window
and double-click the Network Administrator icon.
2. Double-click the DHCP Manager icon to open this window.
3. Select Server and select Server Add.
4. Type the server IP address, then click OK to return to the
DHCP Manager window.
5. In the list of DHCP servers, click on the server you have just
added, then select Scope and select Create.
6. Select Set up the IP Address Pool. In the IP Address Pool
section, set up the IP address range by typing the beginning IP
address in the Start Address box and the ending IP address in
the End Address box. Also type the subnet mask for the subnet
to which the IP address pool applies.
The starting and ending IP addresses define the end points of
the address pool assigned to this scope.
Note
7. In the Lease Duration section, select Unlimited, then
select OK.
HP recommends that all printers be assigned infinite leases to
avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change. Be
aware, however, that selecting an unlimited lease duration for
the scope causes all clients in that scope to have infinite leases.
If you want clients on your network to have finite leases, you
can set the duration to a finite time, but you should configure
all printers as reserved clients for the scope.

If desired, you can exclude ranges of IP addresses
within a scope.
