Hello,

I am using Microsoft NT 3.51 as a DHCP client to talk to our
server.  Everything seems to be working fine but in the Event Log,
I am getting this "warning" message:

---
DHCP received an unknown option 012 of length 009.  The
raw option data is given below.
---

The raw data actually shows the hostname returned by
the server which happens to be 9 bytes long.  Option 12
is the hostname tag (assuming 012 is in decimal and not octal).
Has anyone seen something like this with NT 3.51?  What is
the cause of this warning?

Thanks in advance,

Hank
