> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Reporter: Andy Kurth
> Assignee: Andy Kurth
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.3

>
> Windows images may fail to obtain a public IP address from DHCP when they
> load. When this occurs, an auto-generated 169.254.x.x address is usually
> assigned. It's not possible to connect to such an address. When the
> computer is reserved, this address is retrieved and presented on the
> connection info page. The user tries to connect but can't.
> 2 improvements:
> -Detect invalid public addresses and try to obtain a valid address by running
> ipconfig /renew
> -If a valid address can't be obtained, fail the reservation rather than
> presenting the invalid address to the user
