I'm having problems releasing an ip address so that one of
my laptops can join a domain (running dhcp). I've tried
the command ipconfig /release, but receive the following
error: All adapters bound to DHCP do not have DHCP
addresses. The addresses were automatically configured
and can not be released. Can someone help resolve this
issue?
 
try ipconfig /all to make sure that it is currently set
to dhcp. sounds like it might be set to a static ip
 
If you haven't set a static IP on that card, sounds like it has an
autoconfigured address (169.x.x.x) - which means it couldn't find the DHCP
server. Make sure the NICs aren't using autosense (match the speed/duplex
settings on all servers/workstations/managed switch ports) and check your
cabling as well.
 
Then immediately try ipconfig /renew

It'll let you know if it can't find a DHCP server.
