Help with: "All adapters bound to DHCP do not have DHCP addresses"

[Charles Ginzel]

using ipconfig /release results in the following message: "All
adapters bound to DHCP do not have DHCP addresses."

I've tried everything I can think of and everything I've found on the
net... I've uninstalled the TCP/IP and network drivers and
reinstalled. Did a little whack-a-mo on the registry, but nothing
changes...

I'm certain that my network card, cable and router (DHCP server) are
all okay, because I can dual boot this machine and everything work
fine from Win 98SE. Also, if I go to my Network and Dial-up
Connections, disabled the Local Area Connection and then re-enable it,
the proper IP address and a sundry settings are set correctly!

It's as if there is a timing problem on boot-up where the DHCP Client
doesn't wait long enough for a response from the DHCP Server... does
anyone know of a timeout setting?

Thanks In Advance,
-Charles

P.S. I'm running Win2K will all of the latest patches.

I've done all the same tricks and have read a million threads on th
topic. NOTHING is working and NOBODY seems to have an answer. Lik
you, I've verified the NIC, the router, the cable modem, & even th
cable. Did you EVER get an answer to this

I never saw the question.

I've had similar issue with Broadcom drivers and Catalyst switches, then
gave up and switched to Intel NICs. IP request gets reply in 5 min
automatically but it's too late.

P.S. Phillip, you can proceed the link at the bottom 'View this thread...".
