Try this program from Microsoft. It's the NT equivalent of winipcfg.exe that came with Windows 98.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/te ... pcfg-o.asp

It works on Windows 2000 and XP.

Read the instructions on the link, and once it's installed, run it from the command line. Go to the button "More Info" and you'll see your DHCP server address.

Just out of curiosity what are you trying to do with the dhcp server addresses?

Just setting up your firewall?
If so they usally have a dhcp setting.
if not i might be barking up the wrong tree.
Have fun!
