I may have expected too much.
This appears to return the IP address of the DHCP server that you used.
I was hoping for a tool that would return the addresses of various DHCP
servers. Do I actually have to install this on a PC that has a bum
address?

Maybe I need to release/renew?

I'm on a network today that is seeing sporadic issuance of DHCP addresses
at a suspiciously default range like 192.168.0.1, nothing resembling the
address in use by most folks on the network.

I don't know that it would be much help anyway. All I will find out, if
anything, is that the DHCP server has an address of 192.168.0.xxx.
