Maybe this question is lame,but i cant find an answer to this any where... I'm sharing DSL connection on XP machine,on the same subnet i have another machine (Linux) sharing another DSL.Both they try to launch DHCP server,but i need only one,so maybe someone knows how to disable DHCP server on WinXP and to leave DSL sharing option?
