DHCP assignment issues on RS700 are not fixed

Trial Firmware for me too please. DHCP assignment issues on RS700 are not fixed with the October release 1.0.9.16_2.0.106. Options also seems skimpy in the configuration settings.   Thanks!!

    Issue resolved. BitDefender Security suite's firewall has an issue with detecting the network is a Home/Work network, and Public. Forced settings to Home/Work, and had to do this a few times on one rig, due to BD not saving the settings properly. One would think that they'd easily pull that information from Windows on install (c# System.Management "Network Category"). 

     

    Additionally, it also has a "Stealth Mode" feature, that also has to be turned off.

     

    This resolved the issue on all 3 machines.

     

    I appreciate your help and time. And the same to WarmHelp_NTGR. :)

     

    Thanks!
