Problem
This lab is brief, as we'll only examine the DHCP packets captured by a host. If you also have administrative access to your DHCP server, you may want to repeat this lab after making some configuration changes (such as the lease time). If you have a router at home, you most likely can configure your DHCP server. Because many linux/Unix machines (especially those that serve many users) have a static IP address and because manipulating DHCP on such machines typically requires super-user privileges, we'll only present a Windows version of this lab below.
