The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11b 
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Your computer running Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with TCP/IP-32 for Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11b installed fails to obtain a reserved DHCP address from
the Windows NT DHCP server. Instead, it obtains a dynamic DHCP address.

This problem occurs on a token ring network.

Windows for Workgroups clients do not experience this problem if they are running
the following configuration:

- The client has TCP/IP-32 3.11a installed and is on a token ring network.

- The client has TCP/IP-32 3.11b installed and is on an ethernet network.


RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, upgrade the server to Windows NT 3.51.

Windows NT 3.51 DHCP server works properly with TCP/IP-32 3.11a and 3.11b
clients.
