Is it possible to use Win XP as a DHCP server in a network ? Does Win XP can give automatic IP addresses to clients in a network ??

Possible - Yes Advisable - No

Check your watch, it's 2015 dude! XP's not supported at all, this site's for professional sysadmins, who inherently build and use supportable systems.

  • Should your advice be applied to other similar questions (related to legacy systems)? For example: http://serverfault.com/questions/532879/windows-nt-cannot-browse-windows-server-2008 – Sergio Nov 03 '15 at 20:23

You need a server OS for this or if you NEED to use WinXP, there might be some third party programs out there to do it, however, I don't recommend that.

A Windows Server or corporate firewall (ASA, Dell SonicWall) can also take care of that for you.
