zillah Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 With my Laptop Latitude Dell D600 (win2000 server), I have problem with internet connection, between time to time (not always) I can not access the internet (via LAN at work) neither via wireless card not wired one.When I checked the ipconfig the result was:Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]© Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig /renew---------(unplugged wired NIC)Windows 2000 IP ConfigurationThe following error occurred when renewing adapter WLAN: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]© Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig--(plugged wired NIC)Windows 2000 IP ConfigurationEthernet adapter WLAN: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.96.77 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :Ethernet adapter Broadcom: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.129.230 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :Is this problem related to hardware ? Or I have to do some configuration ?I disabled Wireless card from the device Manager, the same problem.Then I disabled the wired card and enable the wireless card still the same problem is going on.I thought the problem with hardware, I changed motherboard, still the same problem is going on.I thought then the problem with software, I had win2003, then I installed win2000, I had no problem with OS at the beginning , then the problem a raised again.Any clue ?

FAT64 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 An IP address of 169.254.x.x means that your DHCP server is not available. Can you ping your DHCP server? Is it configured and authorized correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Because I am at work I thought the problem with cable or port, I changed my location to another place to do test, the same problem is going on.I did simple test to check the DHCP client, I switched to other OS on my laptop (Linux FC3), it could not get IP address from DHCP server as well!!!!!!I plugged my laptop (OS W2K) to Linksys router (DHCP server at home), it could get IP address from DHCP server (Linksys router ) without any delay.I plugged my laptop (OS FC3) to Linksys router (DHCP server at home), it could get IP address from DHCP server (Linksys router ) without any delay.

At0mic Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 With your laptop pluged in at work try:IPCONFIG /RELEASEIPCONFIG /RENEWIPCONFIGIf it's still not working, specify a static IP in the same subnet as the network and see if you can ping the DHCP server. If you can, set your IP back to automatic and it should pick up an address from DHCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 IPCONFIG /RELEASEIPCONFIG /RENEWIPCONFIGIf it's still not working,I tried this, but it did not work.specify a static IP in the same subnet as the network and see if you can ping the DHCP server. If you can, set your IP back to automatic and it should pick up an address from DHCP.It did work with static. but with automatic it did not work.

BigDaddy Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) That's precisely what I meant.And am sorry, have nothing more.Except maybe U could check the netbios switch. U hvae 3 possible options: ENABLED, DISABLED, DEFAULTbtw. If U plug a diff PC in that Network cable does DHCP work? If it still doesn't then there could be a malfunction in serrver's DHCP LEASES Edited September 23, 2005 by BigDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
