comomolo Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 A customer's laptop has suddenly stopped getting IP addresses from DHCP servers. I can ping other machines in the network if I assign an IP manually, so both LAN and Wireless seem to be working properly. The DHCP server is working fine, other servers in the network get their IP properly. I need the laptop to get IPs from DHCP because my customer's ISP assigns dynamic IPs this way.I have reinstalled drivers and tried to clean the system up a bit with no results.Any ideas?

eyeball Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 this is possibly some sort of malware, can neither the wired or wireless interface pick up an address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comomolo Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Yeah, I thought about some malware too, but Spybot and Avast say everything is OK.The symptoms are identical in both wired and wireless interfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Make sure the DHCP Client service is Automatic/Started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comomolo Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 DHCP client is set to automatic, it's started and apparently working. As a matter of fact, if I disable it I can't access the network. Once I start it again, the network is reachable again, but still no DHCP name resolving.
