BOOTP (Windows)
BOOTP is a Windows utility for assigning IP parameters to a Network
Card. When BOOTP is run on a computer, a BOOTP request from a Net-
work Card causes IP parameters that match the MAC address of the Net-
work Card to be assigned to the Network Card.
Requirements
● Computer must have TCP/IP installed and enabled.
● Network Card must be connected to the same subnetwork as the com-
puter running BOOTP.
● Operating system: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0 or 2000.
✎
Note
See Appendix A - Installing and Setting Up Network Protocol (Win-
dows) and the applicable Windows documentation for information
about installing TCP/IP under Windows.
BOOTP does not operate properly on a computer running a DHCP
server.
