Subject: Re[2]: Microsoft Windows95 DHCP Timeout

     It has been my experience that the people at Microsoft that know about 
     DHCP are the NT group.  I believe the code for Win95 DHCP was actually 
     taken from NT: unfortunately it was code older that the version that 
     has been fixed in NT to resolve this exact same issue.

Apparently PSS (assuming that means Product Support Services) doesn't 
know anything about this.  In fact, they don't seem to know anything at 
all about DHCP.  I've already had to explain what DHCP stands for and 
what it does to two different technicians on the Windows95 support lines. 
After spending over an hour on the phone, having to call three different 
numbers, and talking with over six different people, I am very frustrated. 
I apologize for venting to this list, but I hope that one of the Microsoft 
participants can suggest a further method of action.
