Is it possible to have a Linux machine act as a workstation and
receive a IP address via a Microsoft NT 3.51 DHCP server.

We have a large Windows NT Network that has a NT server running the MS
DHCP manager. We are able to have all Microsoft Workstations obtain a
IP address from the DHCP server. We would like to know if the
following operating systems are capable of obtaining a IP address from
our MS DHCP server.

	Macintosh OS
	Linux 
	FreeBSD

Any information will  be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan Weber
