Hi,
Iam working in a tech support, over the past few weeks
we have been receiving several calls where, the ip address
is 169.254.x.y. When we try to renew and release the
ipaddress - it gets the same ipaddress. I have reset the
tcp/ip stack, when we do this the ipaddress becomes
0.0.0.0 when we release the ipadress. but when i renew the
ipaddress it gives the error "unable to contact dhcp
server,request has timed out". have tried to reinstall the
drivers, have tried to remove the winsock & winsock2 from
registry and reinstalled the tcp/ip protocol using the
nettcpip.ini file. Downloaded the winsock fix to no avail.
All of this still gives the same error when i renew the
ipaddress- any suggestions??? By the way other computers
connected to the router is able to get an ip address.
