win7 dhcp client: sending options
I am trying to change dhcp option 60 and 43 on my Windows 7 Cleint PC.
The standard option 60 - vendor class identifier is set to "MSFT 5.0" and I would like to change it to a different value of "Siemens". Similarly I want to send a Vendor Specific ID using option 43.
I have tried to add:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP\Parameters\Options\DhcpSendOptions
"60"=hex:3c,07,53,69,65,6d,65,6e,73
but try as I will, it will not send anything modified in the DHCP client request to the server.
Do I need to put the registry entry somewhere else or in a different format?
Thanks.
