Some network-related parameters for a Windows Vista-based or Windows Server 2008-based DHCP client computer are configured incorrectly when you use DHCPv6


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

In a network environment, you deploy the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) solution. This solution uses Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). However, on a Windows Vista-based or Windows Server 2008-based DHCP client computer, you may find that some network-related parameters are configured incorrectly. Therefore, you cannot access the network correctly.

Cause

This problem occurs because the DHCPv6 client sends the domain name in the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) format. However, this format does not follow the specification that is defined in RFC 1035 section 3.1.
