Windows 98 Clients Not Registered with Dynamic DNSArticle ID: 242000 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q242000 SYMPTOMS Computers running Windows 98 and participating in a Windows
2000 domain may not have their host names registered with the dynamic DNS
server. CAUSE When requesting an Internet Protocol (IP) address from the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, Windows 98 clients send the
Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) option (code 81), which indicates that the
client registers itself with the dynamic DNS server. However, Windows 98
clients do not actually register their host names with the dynamic DNS server.
Instead, they must depend on the DHCP server to register their host name
information with the dynamic DNS server. RESOLUTIONA
supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem that this article describes. Apply it only to systems that

MORE INFORMATION When you apply this hotfix, Windows 98 clients no longer
send the FQDN option (code 81) when requesting an address from the DHCP server.
The Windows 2000 DHCP server then registers the Windows 98 client's host name
with the dynamic DNS server on behalf of the Windows 98 client computer.
