Use a DHCP server on your PC only if no DHCP server is available in the network (or if you
wish to use a DHCP server in the local network for test purposes).
Never connect your PC to a global network, if a DHCP server is installed on your PC. : Since
larger networks usually have a DHCP server on them, collisions and there could be conflicts
between the two DHCPs, might occur causing a collapse of the network.
