Either there's something in the DHCPADVERTISE message that dnsmasq sends
which win7 doesn't like, so it ignores it, or the ADVERTISE message it
not getting to the win7 client. (Maybe a firewall problem)
All the testing I've done so far has used Linux clients, so this is not
totally unexpected. I'll try to get hold of a Win 7 box to work out
what's going on.
Thanks for taking the time to test.
Simon.
