That's strange he would be reluctant.  It seems like it would be standard
setup for every machine on the network.

For future reference, you can extract that information from a Win 95/98 box 
running DHCP with the "winipcfg" program.  Start it from "Run..." on the 
Start Menu and see what happens.  If you're running NT, you can get it with 
the "ipconfig /all" command from a dos window.

If the windows machines are configured manually, _right_ click on "Network
Neighborhood" -> properties and then properties on the TCP/IP protocol.
