DHCP involves a four step process beginning with the client (your computer/MAC address) requesting an IP lease. Next the DHCP server makes a lease offer. Then, the client makes the lease selection and broadcasts back that it requests to lease the address in the offer. Finally, the DHCP server leases the address and sends the client an acknowledgment.
