The Microsoft TCP/IP kernels in Windows 95 and Windows NT also cache their current lease information although they utilize the registry instead of the DHCP.BIN file that WFW uses. Caching the password does not restrict the client to a particular server, however, except for renew requests as stipulated by the protocol specifications. Microsoft broadcasts rebind and reboot requests as it is supposed to. Therefore, the client can change servers in extraordinary circumstances.
