Cannot renew IP

[adrian916]

Just afew suggestions which you may or may not have
already tried:
1. can you ping the router from the "faulty" machine
2. have you tied plugging it in to a different port on
the router (try the one that the other machine uses)
3. are you getting a link light on the router for the
port that you are using
4. reboot/ power cycle the router in case something is
sticking
5. is the faulty machine definitely set to receive an
address automatically
6 are there enough ip addresses on the DHCP scope
7 try a different cable (the one that the working machine
uses)
