Hi All,
I have recently noticed that Win7 workstations aren't able to access the internet if I re-start the SME server after updating.
SME is in server-only mode and provides DHCP to the network. It looks like Win7 doesn't keep the DHCP info????
Thank you in advance and best to all

Hi All,
for anyone who is having the same problem, I have placed a registry fix for windows 7 just copy the text and save to a file with a .reg extension, then import into registry:
########
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"DontPingGateway"=dword:00000001
#######

According to Microsoft, that registry key you've found should be relevant to the client being restarted, not the server.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958336
However this article suggests that the same rules will apply during DHCP lease renewal.
It sounds to me that this registry hack is something we should always do (IOW, the Microsoft default behaviour is wrong).

Good information. This should perhaps be investigated further and documented. Bosco, would you like to open a bug in Bugzilla?
Thanks.
