XP clients sometimes ignore DHCPOFFERs

[David W. Hankins]

The technote quoted says it only happens on "non microsoft" DHCP servers.

I wonder what MS's server is doing to get its clients out of this loop.

This is all-hands week at ISC.  Because of that I'm fairly useless.
IETF is next week.

I won't have a chance to look in our lab for a few weeks at the earliest.


Someone should be able to find out by getting a client into this state (it
sounds like you need to give it a really long lease) and then attach it to
a network where someone enabled "share network" on a regular Windows XP
box.

A pcap of that would save me a lot of effort.
