XP sp2 network bridge DHCP does not work
All worked well before WinXP sp2...
I have HomePNA PCI card that connects to internet. Same WinXP sp2 machine has internal ethernet connection to external bridge, which is connected to another machines. I have a Windows Network Bridge between HomePNA and ethernet. Before sp2, TCP/IP got its ip address from DHCP fine, from HomePNA connection. Now TCP/IP always gets some alternative private ip address. The only way to get it to work, is to disconnect the ethernet cable on boot, so that only HomePNA is connected. The funny thing is, that when internet does not work on sp2 machine, it still works on other machines via the external bridge, that goes to internet via Windows Network Bridge. So the only problem is, that the Windows Network Bridge does not get a correct TCP/IP settings from HomePNA DHCP, instead it invents some private ip address. |
