This project provides a lightweight, simple and easy to use DHCP server written in 100% java code.

It can be configured either via the config.ini file or live via console. Currently it is just an simple tool to provide IP-Adresses in a given range and a subnet.

This project was started as i realized that there was no free and easy to use dhcp server for windows that i can use at my lan-partys. A sample config.ini is present which distribute ip adresses from 192.168.0.20 to 192.168.0.200 in a class C net (255.255.255.0)

The project is hosted an sourceforge and can be found via the following url: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jdhcpd/

You can contact me via the service provided by sourceforge.net

The config.ini is a simple textfile, which is used to configure the server. It contains only one section (the "global" section) and provides the following options:

renewal_time: When the client should try to renew the lease. Defined in seconds. default: 77760 lease_time: How long the lease is valid. Defined in seconds. default: 86400

server_ip: Defines which ip-adress the server got. default: 192.168.0.1 first_ip: The first ip to provide to the clients. default: 192.168.0.20 last_ip: The last ip to provide to the clients. default: 192.168.0.200 netmask: The netmask of this network. CIDR notation is NOT allowed. default: 255.255.255.0 dns_servers: A list of DNS-Servers responsible for this network. Each IP is separated by a space. default: 192.168.0.1
