Windows 10 not working with pfsense dhcp
-
No problems here at all, my windows 10 machine gets a fully working DHCP lease every time like clockwork.

Well, this clearly is a new M$ low… The problem with some idiotic December hotfix seems so bad that every https://support.microsoft.com/ page displays this banner:
(And no, I am NOT hallucinating.)

Yeah there is article about recent patch that made it worse or sure didn't fix it

Which is why I asked what build your on, my is older build..
Oh its a 1 post wonder - the prob won't even be back.. Guess this is good info for the next shmuck..

Found the problem. The DHCP server was configured to hand out a static classless route (code 121) which is now defunct. It turns out some Linux boxes complained about it too but didn't abort the whole IP setting process as Windows 10 did (without saying why of course, just code 0x79).
Thanks all.

Why would you have been using option 121? that could be used as a work around for clients that are on a transit network to hand them other routes, etc..
But to be honest.. This option is one of those rare ones.. Special cases for sure.. Why would you have setup pfsense dhcp to do that vs just standard option 3? Wouldn't you normally just use option 33 to hand the client static routes?

Windows 10 DHCPv6 is still broken, as of Version 1607 (Build 14393.576).

FYI regarding the Windows 10 Anniversary DHCPv6 renewal issue… according to the very last post in this MS Technet discussion, the fix will be in the March 2017 monthly update.

In my network i have around 50+ PC with Windows 10, and 20+ PC with Windows 7, and almost no problems (only one: some clients somehowe take duplicate IP, or dont take any IP - it around 3-4 PCs from all lan) with DHCPv6 in Assisted Mode because it use DHCPv6 in managed mode otherwise in fail mode use stateless autoconfiguration. Works just perfect. I'm even haven't IPv6 problems in OpenVPN, if someone need help\manual how to configure it I can post it on new topic.

As of version 1607, build 14393.953, which is a regular update, the problem has been fixed.
