unable to contact dhcp server,request has timed out
I am having the almost identical issue with one of the
machines on my network. I think it may be a trojan virus of some sort -- although I have virus and firewall software on that machine. Have you checked your host file? On my affected machine there were at least 100 web addresses hardcoded into the file. Flushdns didn't get rid of them. I had to delete them from the file. I don't think it's a bad network card. Anyone else having these same problems??? Jane -----Original Message----- Have you considered the possibility that your network card or cable may be bad? -- Richard G.

unable to contact dhcp server,request has timed out
I'm having a similar problem with a wireless connection.
It doesn't matter whether I use the built-in wireless on the computer or a USB adapter. A wired connection works perfectly. The wireless connection returns the same 169.254.x.y problem that Ritesh is experiencing. The computer is XP Home. -----Original Message----- Have you considered the possibility that your network card or cable may be bad? -- Richard G.

unable to contact dhcp server,request has timed out
Hi every one, thanx for ur response Richard, Jane and
David, No the network card is perfectly fine. When we assign a static ipaddress to the nic on his office network, he is able to get online. The problem exists only when he connects to any network that assigns dynamic ip address. By the way Jane, did deleting the hosts file work? does it get a valid ipaddress now? By the way I had also tried - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;822123&Product=winxp and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;169229 but to no avail. The suprising part is that we had calls where the customer just bought his system and trying to hookup to the internet for the 1st time and this happens...Could this still be a trojan? Though i personally feel it could be a virus or a trojan as this is becoming a very common issue with most of the calls that come in... -ritesh -----Original Message----- I am having the almost identical issue with one of the machines on my network.
