SYMPTOMS

computer that has the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) service installed,
TCP/IP addresses in one or more DHCP scopes may be displayed as "BAD". Entire
scopes may be displayed this way when an internetworking device (such as a
router), is not functioning properly, or the DHCP service receives an Internet
Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packet coded with the destination unreachable
flag.

==========
