The Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) Manager does not display the host name of a DHCP reservation acquired by
the following clients:

- Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS

- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c for MS-DOS

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.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Network Client for
MS-DOS, version 3.0 and Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c for MS-DOS. We are
