DHCPRequest for 0.0.0.0

[Defryn, Guy]

Hi,

Someone reported that one of their clients is unable to DHCP.
Looking at the leases file, there is an active lease and it should be working.
When looking into logs I found the entries below.

It seems to get an ACK but at the same time another Request for 0.0.0.0 goes out.
Why would a client issue another request after getting an ACK? Is there an issue on the client side?
