I was wondering something about networking. DNS settings can either be specified manually in the OS or obtained through DHCP. Why doesn't Windows give the option to specify an IP address for the DHCP server? Why does DHCP use broadcast instead of having an IP address to connect with? Am I misunderstanding something?
@northerner Well bootstrap problem - the point of DHCP is 1) you have a single source of truth to avoid IP address conflict 2) the system would need an IP to get an IP
in which case you'd be running static IPs and wouldn't need DHCP
