First practical use of this DHCP client daemon option, Stan:
I'm in Milpitas, CA for a two-day workshop on large-scale Wi-Fi deployments (see http://www.moonblinkwifi.com/pd_training.cfm). Here at the Beverly Heritage Hotel, there are no less than four 802.11b networks visible from my room, all at between 65% and 70% signal, all unencrypted, and all - naturally! - on channel 11.
iBahn provides the hotel Wi-Fi, and while I have never to date experienced an issue getting a DHCP address, I just hung forever tonight, waiting. I rebooted; same thing. Finally, I set option 60 to "MSFT 5.0" and bounced the box a final time. Presto! DHCP config came right down. Coincidence? Perhaps. However, I think it may very well be that blasted option. Perhaps W2K3 Server specifically looks for that by default? Not that I know for a fact what is behind the iBahn AP...
Anyway, I wanted to pass this along.
Thanks again for the good info.
