SYMPTOMS
Your computer running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with TCP/IP-32 for
Windows for Workgroups version 3.11b installed fails to obtain a reserved
DHCP address from the Windows NT DHCP server. Instead, it obtains a dynamic
DHCP address.
This problem occurs on a token ring network.
Windows for Workgroups clients do not experience this problem if they are
running the following configuration:
- The client has TCP/IP-32 3.11a installed and is on a token ring network.
- The client has TCP/IP-32 3.11b installed and is on an ethernet network.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade the server to Windows NT 3.51.
Windows NT 3.51 DHCP server works properly with TCP/IP-32 3.11a and 3.11b
clients.
