Auto DHCP screwed
I have a small 3 user network through an ADSL modem/router. Two PCs are XP
SP2 the other is Win2K. Having tried and failed to update the network drivers in one of the XP machines, this PC now fails to collect its 'ip' address from the router DHCP server and comes up with a default 'ip'. Whatever I do, I cannot get this PC to take its 'ip' from the router. It must be the PC and not the router because the other 2 machines are connecting fine. I can get a network connection by putting in a static 'ip' within the appropriate subnet but internet sharing will not work with this. Is there some way that I can remove all pre-existing TCP/IP configuration on the problem PC so that it will then take its 'ip' address from the router again? Mike Bernstein |

Auto DHCP screwed
In a cmd window type
netsh int ip reset [log_file_name] as explained he http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;299357 You may also want to reset winsock: netsh winsock reset catalog but this may break some network applicaitons. The applications may have to be reinstalled. Lance ***** Mike Bernstein thought carefully and wrote on 11/24/2004 12:25 PM: I have a small 3 user network through an ADSL modem/router.

Great, glad it worked.
Having to reset TCP/IP and Winsock is often a sign of current or past spyware/adware infections. You may also wish to perform some AdAware and Spybot scans if you can't pinpoint the cause of this IP address problem.
