Problem

In Windows this is easy to find, ‘ipconfig /all‘ will tell you 🙂 On macOS it’s not so simple.

Solution

First you need to know which network card we are talking about! Your wireless network card is nearly always en0 (that’s a zero), if you are on a wired connection simply run ifconfig and find the right network card.

to double check you can run;

[box]

ipconfig getifaddr en0

[/box]

Then to see your DHCP server address, issue the following command;

[box]

ipconfig getpacket en0

[/box]

Look for the value of server_identifier this is the DHCP servers address.
