dhcpcsvc issue?

Lem,
Thanks for replying. I have copied the error message text he
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1002
Date: 4/29/2010
Time: 7:01:52 PM
User: N/A
Computer: RICHARD
Description:
The IP address lease 192.168.2.2 for the Network Card with network address
0018F31099D4 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.2.1 (The DHCP Server
sent a DHCPNACK message).
I did as you suggested and configured the host for a static IP address
outside the range of the router and it seems to be working fine. Still
wondering what's going on with Dhcp though.

Hi group,
I have a home network physically described as follows: a DSL connection
with AT&T (their modem, Motorola 2210). Immediately downstream of the
modem I have a Belkin wireless router and hardwired to that I have a
desktop computer running Windows XP Pro with sp3 and all latest patches.
Also hardwired to the router is a Belkin USB hub to which I connect an HP
960c printer and an Epson 1660 scanner. A laptop computer sometimes joins
this network via wireless.
The symptoms of the problem I'm having are that during the download of a
video from a web-site (e.g., ESPN) the desktop computer will suddenly
freeze. The system event log shows a dhcp 1002 error that occurs at about
the same time. I have had the desktop computer freeze like that when
using Skype but have not verified the dchp error message. The laptop (my
wife's work computer) has not exhibited any similar problems thus far.
I have Win IP config on the desktop and have attached a copy of the
report to this post. Also, I have configured the desktop NIC (has the
latest driver) as follows: VLAN tagging - disabled, auto disable PCIe -
disabled, auto disable PHY - disabled, checksum offload - disabled, flow
control - disabled, jumbo frame - disabled, large send offload - enabled,
network address - not present, shutdown wake-on-Lan - disabled, speed &
duplex - 1Gbps full duplex, wake-on-Lan capabilities - pattern match &
magic pack, WOL & shutdown link speed - 10 Mbps first.
My question is this: why is the host requesting an IP address from the
dhcp server in the router when the lease it has on the present IP address
has not expired? Also, why doesn't the host handle the dhcpnak message
properly? Could it be that the host software dhcpcsvc.dll has been
corrupted? If you think so, how do I go about replacing it? Or, am I
barking up the wrong tree entirely?
1. What text accompanied the Event ID 1002? You can copy it to the
clipboard using the icon just below the up/down arrows in the Event
Properties sheet.
2. If I'm reading things correctly, you have a *10 year* lease time set in
your router's DHCP server:
DHCP Server: 192.168.2.1
Lease Obtained: 30.04.10 06:58
Lease Expires: 27.04.20 06:58
On a large network with many users, that would crash things in a hurry.
With only three or four clients on the network, it might not matter. On
the other hand, if you've *also* configured the router's DHCP server to
have a very small pool of IP addresses to allocate, you could run into
problems -- but I'm not sure why it would happen in the middle of a
session. The usual default lease time for a home router is 1 day.
3. My speculations in #2 aside, if you configure your computer to use a
static IP address of the form 192.168.2.x but *outside* the range used by
the router's DHCP server, you shouldn't experience this problem.
