MS-DOS Client 3.0 Hangs with Third-Party DHCP Server (179238)

SYMPTOMS

The MS-DOS 3.0 network client may stop responding (hang) during the boot sequence in Tcptsr.exe when using a third-party Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server that does not send the DHCP options RENEWAL TIME and REBIND TIME for infinite leases. The problem does not occur with the Microsoft DHCP server.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, configure the DHCP server to send both fields even for infinite leases.
