ipconfig /renew unable to contact dhcp server
-
I'm having pretty much the same problem as described below with win2k. A fresh install of XP and I can't get the internet connection to work. On reboot ipconfig returns values of 0.0.0.0 and the status of the network reads that it is sending data but not receiving any packets. clicking the repair option on the network connection returns the same error as well. And it's not the network card as a pcmcia network card behaves in exactly the same way. Of course msdn doesn't admit that this is an error that ipconfig can give. Any ideas?

O.K. I figure it's definately some hardware has just decided to break for no apparent reason. As Windows XP Prof, Home, Win2k and Suse 8 all fail to obtain an ip address for the network card. [edit] Strangely enough it's only linux that refuses to start because of the problem. No blue screen of death but there's a definate hanging situation going on.:-D [/edit] pseudonym67 Neural Dot Net Articles 1-11 Start Here[^] Fuzzy Dot Net Articles 1-3 Start Here[^]
