    How to Install "dhcp_on.inf"?

    To make a long story (long version found in the thread http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...5&pagenumber=1
    ) short ...

    I'm running ICS on 3 machines with Windows 98. About half the time, the client machines cannot see the host at start-up. I've found that if I install the "dhcp_on.inf" file on the host and restart the host everything connects fine.

    My question is this:

    How can I set up a shortcut on the host's desktop so that the person running it can easily install this file before shutting down at the end of the day. I've explained how to install it (right-click and the select INSTALL) but most of the time, that step is missed in the rush to leave.

    I do have a desktop shortcut to do a one-click shut-down on that machine (C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows) and would like to put a second shortcut with the DHCP install in it.

    I've come across the command line "C:\windows\ rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 .\.inf" which is supposed to install an INF file. So I copied the DHCP file to the C:\windows directory and created a desktop shortcut to read:

    C:\windows\ rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 dhcp_on.inf

    When I ran this shortcut, I get the following error:

    "Error loading syssetup. The system cannot find the file specified."

    Any suggestions as to how to install this file more automatically?

    Thanks in advance.
