Um, generally you don't...  It does that by default.  Your DHCP client
(your usual personal computer) asks a DHCP server for an address, and
the DHCP server tells it what to do.  It's only people trying to bypass
that automatic remote control, partially or totally, that go about
trying to change the DHCP client configuration.

But are you talking about configuring a DHCP client or server?

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

My apologies for not including a virus with this message, but I don't
use Windows.
