Haha yeah a big strong network person would be running proxmox or Ubuntu server or Debian or something and having a better time. I’m my defense, I’m both lazy and stupid so while (almost) everything is working, I’m keeping windows
Nothing wrong with a Windows box as your server. Use what you know. Windows skills are a great asset in the world.
This issue is OS-independent, meaning you would have the same problem on a Raspberry Pi as you did on your Windows box.

It's definitely more difficult when you don't have control over the DHCP server. Is it part of a router provided by your ISP?
Yeah the router is provided by the ISP and it has very limited options on it but it is running the DHCP server.
