DHCP uses UDP as transport protocol, afair. REBOL does support UDP, so building a DHCP daemon should be possible :)

I suggest that you take a look at the networking stuff in the REBOL/Core Users Guide (http://www.rebol.com/docs-core.html) There is a tip how to use server ports in REBOL in the REBOL Cookbook, (http://www.rebol.net/cookbook/) and it might be helpful even though it's about TCP server ports. -- Best regards, Andreas
