the following clients:

MORE INFORMATION

The DHCP manager displays the IP address and empty brackets for all leases
obtained by Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS and Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c
for MS-DOS clients. The DHCP request frame does not contain a host name options
field and cannot be recorded by the DHCP manager.
