thanks Corona688 for providing infomrtaion about DHCP as i know very little about it...As per your experience and knowledge could you please let me know what all files or things i should look for in order to check whether particular unix machine is using dhcp.

Corona688 .. no we do not have any specific range defined for dhcp..It would be really very helpfull if you can provide me any other way of checking whether dhcp is in use or not...thanks Smilie

The configuration files a particular distribution uses.

DHCP operates somewhat below that layer. It has to -- the computer doesn't have an IP address yet. Try checking for 'bootpc' in 'netstat -an', though.

Again, this is not foolproof. Some DHCP clients will run once then quit. This method won't detect these. And I'm not sure netstat will work for dhcp clients, rather than servers.
