How do you enable DCHP in windows? Ive spent ages trying. I downloaded a free DHCP server, and its telling me that another process is using Port 69 (assuming internet connection sharing). It does open up and give 192.168.0.2 (my Linux box) a lease but I cant get the two to play nice.
Followup; ICS is designed to be quick, easy and idiot-proof. It isn't configurable, and it will override or conflict with any other software or configuration changes that you may have made to provide NAT, DNS or DHCP on the same machine. if you want a DHCP server that you can configure you need to turn off ICS completely and do the entire job by hand, setting up your own static IP, NAT, DNS and DHCP with appropriate leases.
