Acquiring network address

D

Dennis Backherms

I am experiencing a problem when trying to use DHCP under one profile
name. If I log out and back in as another profile, I have no problems
acquiring an IP address. When I log out and back in under the
problematic user's profile I receive 'Acquiring network address'
indefinitely. The wireless card will attach itself to the network but
will not assign an IP.

This is wireless? Verify that the security settings are correct and
re-enter the security key.

I have verified all wireless settings but still experience this issue.

Does this Account has the same privileges as the one you logged with and
worked?.
You may experiencing a profile corruption or damaged winsock on that
account, try to repair the winsock first :
Open a run command and type in: <= in the problematic account!.
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]

Before rebooting make sure this service started on the services control panel:
DHCP

Reboot, does it help?.

Also before going to the Creation of a new profile try to delete the
connection and create another one, does it help?.

I did recreate the connection to the wireless network and that did not
work. I then proceeded to reset the Winsock and it resolved my issue.
Thank you to everyone who offered me assistance in this matter.
