Lost my lease!
Is there something an ordinary person can glean from the following Event
Viewer error messages? "Your computer has lost the lease to its IP address 192.168.100.2 on the Network Card with network address 0006253F71E1." I don't remember signing a lease! Scanning recent Event View entries I see quite a few DHCP errors. There's also this one: "The IP address lease 76.127.54.187 for the Network Card with network address 0006253F71E1 has been denied by the DHCP server 0.0.0.0 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message)." They sound ominous. Thanks -- JimL |

They sound ominous. Thanks DHCP errors are common. If your computer isn't having trouble with its network connection, ignore them. If it is, we can troubleshoot the problem. When connected directly to a cable modem, your computer's network connection obtains (leases) an IP address from your Internet service provider. That IP address uniquely identifies your computer and allows web sites to send traffic to you. The assignment is for a specific period of time. Before the end of that time, your computer renews the address. Sometimes, the computer (you) and the DHCP server (Comcast) argue with each other, with the details going to the event log, before they agree on an address. The IP address 192.168.100.2 appears to be one that your Comcast cable modem assigned to your computer during a temporary Internet service outage. The other IP address that you listed appears to be one belonging to Comcast in Tennessee. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com |

BTW, the Event Viewer logs are full of ominous-looking error reports that are actually inconsequential. You could go crazy looking at all of them. I only look at them when troubleshooting a specific, observable problem. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com |
