IP Address of DHCP server

Hello,

I want to find out the IP address of my DHCP server. Can someone please let me know if there is any command to do that?

As root in a terminal run:
Code:
dhclient
The IP address after "DHCPACK from " is your DHCP server's IP address.
I hope this is what you were asking.

Have fun!
