Once upon a time I worked in Apple support, even before the organization was known as AppleCare. I authored a Knowledge Base article that documented the behavior of the Mac DHCP client in Mac OS 8 and 9. It was an implicit answer to the question, “Why don't Macs behave like the other clients?” At the time that meant, “Why don't they behave like Widows?”
With that background, I’m happy to see the article, Rapid DHCP: Or, how do Macs get on the network so fast? These days, the Mac DHCP client kinda kicks ass.
