WinXP Client not renewing DHCP address - Help Please
All,
I have an IBM T40 laptop with WindowsXP with SP1 installed and all O/S patches installed since 7/20/2004. The IBM T40 is the recent model with the Intel Centrino Mobile Tech CPU. We have several other T40's not experiencing this problem. The PC is producing the following event error below: Event Type: Warning Event Source: Dhcp Event Category: None Event ID: 1003 Description: Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 000D6078FDBB. The following error occurred: The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server. As such, the PC can not obtain a valid IP address from our DHCP server without manually running ipconfig /release then /renew several times, the PC will eventually get a valid IP address. The DCHP server is a Windows 2003 Domain Controller (also DNS) which is part of a Windows 2000 Native domain. The DHCP is authorized. All clients, servers and domain controllers are internal and are recieving a 10.x.x.x. ip address. Other PC's are recieving DHCP ip addresses just fine. I have tried several things so far with no success: 1) Dis-joined the PC from the Domain and re-joined 2) Deleted the PC account, re-installed the O/S and rejoined the Domain 3) I have also tried using the Repair option on the NIC properties 4) I have also tried uninstalling the NIC driver and reinstalling 5) I have also tried to create a reservation for the nic's mac address The PC is a laptop IBM T40 with and two nics an Intel Pro/1000 MT and an Intel Pro Wireless Lan (both NIC's are built-in). I have also checked to make sure that the Internet Connection Firewall is not enabled. About the only thing I have not tried is to disable the wireless lan nic nor install a PCMCIA NIC card. I will try that tomorrow morning. Otherwise, does anyone have any other ideas to try ? Thanks, Ian |
