RE: NT 3.51 behavior

[Munil Shah <[e-mail]>]

The NT 3.51 DHCP client does not use/handle 012 option. This option
is also not included in the requested option list when it sends out
DISCOVER/
REQUEST packets, so when it receives 012 option from the dhcp server,
it logs this warning message. This is harmless in general.

If you want DHCP client to store this option
in registry somewhere, you can add that to the Options list under DHCP
registry.
