13. A system comprising:
-
a gaming device to transmit a DHCP server-destined message; a DHCP server to receive the DHCP server-destined message including relay agent information, to generate a gaming device-destined response message including the relay agent information, and to transmit the gaming device-destined response message; and a relay agent to receive the DHCP server-destined message, to insert the relay agent information into the DHCP server-destined message, to forward the DHCP server-destined message to the DHCP server, to receive the gaming device-destined response message, to remove the relay agent information from the gaming device-destined response message, and to forward the gaming device-destined response message to the gaming device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
