Error codes

Name Meaning
S_OK
The operation was successful.
E_POINTER
The parameter networkMask was NULL.
DISP_E_EXCEPTION
An unexpected error has occurred.

Remarks

The NetworkMask and the Network parameter define the range of TCP/IP addresses managed by the DHCP server. For example, a Network of "192.168.0.0" and a NetworkMask of "255.255.255.0" define the range "192.168.0.1" to "192.168.0.254". ("192.168.0.0" is invalid and "192.168.0.255" is a special address used to broadcast to all nodes in this network range.)
