PSS ID Number: 246661

Article Last Modified on 10/16/2002

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0



This article was previously published under Q246661

SYMPTOMS

In the Swedish language-version of Windows NT 4.0 Server, you cannot add DHCP address reservations by using the Dhcpadmn.exe tool for any IP address that contains three decimal digits in any octet. You can enter a maximum of two decimal digits for each octet in the reservation dialog box.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the octet edit fields in the reservation dialog box in the Dhcpadmn.exe tool are too small.
