Node Type And Scope ID Not Updated Upon Lease Renewal

When the DHCP lease of your Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 computer is released and renewed, the node type and scope ID are not updated. For example, when you release the lease, make changes to the Node Type and Scope ID information and renew the lease with the IPCONFIG /RENEW (or WINIPCFG /RENEW for Windows 95) command, the new lease does not include the updated Node Type and Scope ID.

To work around this problem, reboot your Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 computer.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 and Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
