DHCP Client & Classless Static Routes

Hi All,

I am currently testing Vista Business and have run into a problem with
the Vista DHCP client.

Our DHCP server uses option 249 to assign classless network routes via
DHCP. Under previous flavours of Windows this has been working fine,
however with Vista the static routes are not added to the route table.

I have googled, searched news group and scoured every possible IT
resource I can think of without success. Does anyone know of a solution
to this problem?

Thanks,
David

Service Pack 1? Now open for Beta nominations.....

Make you don;t have any duplicate CSR. Can you send us the netmon sniffers
to find out the problem ?

Thanks

Hi,

The network ranges we are assigning do not overlap.

I have discovered the issue which is that only one CSR is accepted by
the Vista DHCP client. If there is more than one CSRs being assigned
via DHCP then no entries are made to the route table.

It sounds like something has been changed to accomodate NAP which has
broken this functionality.

Thanks,
David

Yes, this is basically. if you have any duplicate entries in the CSRs, no
further routes will be plumbed.
Yes, this is a issue and will be fixed in SP1.
