Manual IP works but cannot get address from DHCP server

[petethebloke]

I've tried restarting DHCP client and network awareness etc.

I can work perfectly with a manual IP address, but would rather use
DHCP for various reasons.

Win XP SP2 + all hotfixes.

Everything was fine for months and it started playing up yesterday
(could not establish a good FTP connection). I've tried 2 different
routers, but get the same problem.

I seem to have the DHCP client going now, but the FTP problem
persists. I can connect to an FTP server, but cannot get a directory
listing.
I have tried ftp at a command prompt and Filezilla. I have tried
passive mode and this makes no difference.
At the command prompt I can use other commands eg CD and PWD, but DIR
just leaves it hanging till it times out.

Do you have access to the FTP server logs?
