I need to configure a network made by a simple old hub with 24-ports a server and some clients.

Both clients and server has Windows XP or later.

If all clients has the DCHP service enabled does exists a software that, installed on the server, assigns automatically to the clients an IP based on a predefined range?

yes, you're looking for DHCP server software. – quack quixote Mar 19 '10 at 23:23

DHCP Turbo is a fairly simple DHCP server for Windows. However, it is not free.

Tiny DHCP Server is another option that I'm sure works well, but I have no experience with it.

You can search Google for "Windows DHCP Server" to find many more options.

why overcomplicate? Internet connection sharing has a simple DHCP server included just set it up as Internet -> server/router running ics -> dumnb hub -> clients, run ICS on the server and you are good.
