Antamedia DHCP Server for Windows

User Reviews

• Don't install on Vista

  ubuysaSeptember 24, 2010

  Pros

  Nothing, it's junk

  Cons

  It changed the fixed IP data in the network adapter nd stopped it working. It doesn't uninstall properly; on XP the uninstall routine failed(!) and on Vista it left loads of crap (including a network driver) behind which even Revo didn't find.

  Summary

  This is an awful piece of software, I have no idea whether it works because my network connection wouldn't stay up long enough to find out. And it doesn't uninstall fully, either on XP or Vista. Stay away from this software!

• Gets the job done, but has issues

  SierraWingJuly 15, 2010

  Pros

  It delivers IP addresses as advertised in certain configurations. Easy to set up.

  Cons

  Would not function on a Win 7 / x64 PC on a WLAN connection. As others have pointed out, there is not uninstaller. But it's easy enough to remove manually without needing a system restore.

  Summary

  I run a couple independent networds here. My high-speed cable went out, so I needed a way to quickly get all my Internet aware devices out on my business T1s. This required some really fancy routing on a particular gateway machine, and a DHCP server that could operate outside the wireless router to deliver the correct gateway to these devices. Once I moved the installation to a Vista / 32-bit PC that is hardwired to the router I was able to get it to behave normally. On the Win 7 / 64 pc, which is the actualy gateway, it just wouldn't work. Machines that could see the gateway fine when set up with static IPs were unable to contact the DHCP that was running on it when configured to use DHCP. Weird stuff... The totally dysfunctionaly uninstaller is a real annoyance, but removing it from HKLM\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Services... in the registry and deleting the installation folder takes care of it. I just discovered there is a version 3.0 available from the developer. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe some of these issues have been reoslved.

• Had to system-restore to get rid of it!

  jpgburgessSeptember 15, 2009

  Pros

  Reasonable interface, options looked good, easy to configure. 2 mins from install to clients receiving DHCP addresses.

  Cons

  Once installed, the host machine lost all internet connectivity. No un-install through start menu, un-inst through add/remove progs didn't work. Had to system restore in the end.

  Summary

  Wouldn't bother with it.

• Not good enough.

  edwinlaifaAugust 1, 2009

  Pros

  Quite simple.

  Cons

  Not only can't be uninstalled, can't select which interface card to lease IP addresses as well, resulting in certain network segment having more than 1 DHCP servers.

  Summary

  Must improve.

• Good, small DHCP server but WON'T UNINSTALL.

  Wildcat96July 28, 2009

  Pros

  Installs easily with small footprint Clean and easy to use UI Good DHCP features and performance

  Cons

  It doesn't uninstall, and therefore you are stuck with the service for the rest of your life. This is a major problem that must be addressed.

  Summary

  While I like the usability, the fact that it won't uninstall makes it a "leach" and is unaccaptable.
