FIX: The DHCP Host Name Option Is Not Included in the Lease Renewal (821388)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Although the Windows CE dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) client sends the local device name as the host name (DHCP option 12) when requesting a new IP address, the client does not send the host name when renewing an Internet Protocol (IP) address lease that was previously obtained.

CAUSE

The code path for the DHCP lease renewal does not add the host name to the DHCP option list before transmitting the DHCP network packet.
