SYMPTOMSMicrosoft Lan Manager 2.2C clients and Microsoft Network Clients, using TCP/IP with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on Token Ring networks, may experience one of the following:
-or- CAUSE
The DHCP client for the real mode (16-bit) TCP/IP stack incorrectly sets
the DHCP htype field to "ethernet" regardless of the media type to which
the client is attached. This can cause the packet to be dropped when
traversing some DHCP relay agents, resulting in failure to obtain an IP
address and other parameters.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the LAN Manager 2.2C client, and the MS Networks 3.0 client, using the real-mode 16 bit TCP/IP stack. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix.
