RE: SP1 7 DHCP Challenges?

Hello Kelly,

Thank you for posting back!

I am glad to hear that you have resolve this issue and thing is working
correctly on your side now. May I know how you re-configured the RRAS
settings, please? I had discussed your issue with my colleagues, and
currently our conclusion is DHCP service does not work correctly, so I am
quite curious.

I am greatly appreciated your time! If you still have any questions or
concerns on this issue, please feel free to post back! I am glad to be
working with you again!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
