The mTCP DHCP client is designed for the mTCP applications. You can use it and adapt it to do other things, but you will have to write some scripts or code to take the output from the DHCP client (a text file) and make it usable for whatever app you had in mind. You might as well consider the

If NTOOL tells you bootp/dhcp failed it means exactly what it says. But this can have two different reasons. Either your packet driver is OK, but no dhcp server answered NTOOL's request. In this case there must be a problem with the dhcp server. Or your packet driver did not load properly,
