ip helper address can be used to find a dhcp server on a different segment
than what you are. Your computer will broadcast a dhcp request (layer 3
which will not get through a router) for a dhcp server on a different
segment. ip helper address will allow your machine access to the dhcp server
through the router. however, be aware that ip helper address does open up
other ports.
