Resolved unable to contact DHCP server

I am unable to connect the internet on one of my laptops on my home wireless networks. It worked fine before today. I ran a ipconfig/renew and it came back "unable to contact your DHCP server. The Dhcp shows enabled. The autoconfiguration ip address is deleted by Moderator for your security. I rebooted the modem, server, and all computers. No help. Any ideas?

 

luhrch,

Are you running XP and what type, Vista and what type ?

Have you run any spyware and virus programs to see if it is a virus ?

 

I am running XP, and have avast virus software.

 

I could not locate a wireless driver dvd for my computer. Will I be able to reinstall the wireless card without one?

 

That did not work. Is there a way to manually change my ip address or is that not the fix either?

 

thanks

 

Try

1. Uninstall and Reinstall NIC

2. Powercycle of the Modem

3. Disconnect Router and connect directly

4. Stop DHCP Client and DNS Client Services and Restart

5. Check the Dependencies of DHCP Client Services and compare it with your
computer

6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\DHCP
In the right pane, double click DependOnService, and then make sure that the
Data
Value value is Tcpip Afd NetBT.


7. Try the following command
ipconfig /flushdns

8. Check add and remove programs for any web enhancers, internet
optimizers,spyware, spam blocking software, parental controls, etc

9. Try to disable anti virus

 

I disconnected the router and connected directly then when I reconnected the router the wireless connection worked. I don't understand it but I am a happy man.
