Odhiambo, thanks for the advice, i needed a work around for my remote office which i really don't need to hustle configuring the router supplying me with the internet, thats y i choose to do it on a pc which will double up as my print server for the office. i also got another tool here which does the same thing, i find this one better to manage and use.... http://www.tucows.com/preview/265297 Make a great skunking day! 2009/8/20 Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com>

hi guys Am looking for a DHCP server to run on XP desktop. I would like it to assign IPs to guys who may join the network Anyone who can help?
tftpd32 - http://pagesperso-orange.fr/philippe.jounin/tftpd32.html - will do that.
Another suggestion: Get a Wireless Router (most have 4 ports), cascade it with a switch (like those D-Link 8-ports) and you have a DHCP server. I know this is not free, but it's cheap! You already have a switch, so another 3k and you have a wireless router doing DHCP for you. And you can configure and connect it's WAN port to the XP PC which I think is what you have connected to the Internet.
