LAN Manager Version 2.2c Client DHCP Setup Changes May Fail PSS ID Number: Q121837 Article last modified on 10-21-1994 PSS database name: LANMAN

2.20c WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

On a LAN Manager version 2.2c MS-DOS client using TCP/IP, if Setup is used to disable DHCP and then later to reenable it, the reenable fails. The client continues to use the manually-configured IP address.

= CAUSE =

When DHCP is disabled using Setup, the following entry is added to the PROTOCOL.INI file:

DISABLEDHCP = 1

Later, if Setup is used to reenable DHCP, it fails to remove this line, or change it to DISABLEDHCP=0.

= WORKAROUND =

Manually edit the PROTOCOL.INI file by deleting the line containing DISABLEDHCP = 1.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager version 2.2c. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
