I was under the impression that DHCP was an open protocol (read: not one created by M$). I thought it was IETF or some such oeg. I know that ISC currently has a good implementation for UNIX and clones.
I don't think that DHCP broadcasts this repeatedly either. Unless someone has their lease times set to 7 seconds?!
