Resolved Win7 always report network problem - DHCP

Hi friends

Because some applications require a fix TCP.v4 address, I set the OS to a fix IP.

However whenever the system reboot, the network seem to fail. On diagnosing win7 reports that DHCP is missing. Allowing system to repair, it will put system into dynamic addressing.

I have another set of PC.win7 that does not manifest this, meaning the fix address don't give any connection problem.

TCP.v6 are both set to auto.

What is happening? What did i fail to do to cause this constant error reporting.

 

Hi guys

There seem to be no response to this thread because it looks like one of those that only God know why, some undefined malfunction of hardware or OS (like the famous ms blue screen) .. unless i conclude wrongly why this silence.

This may help to prompt you experts to response.
Whenever there is a failure to access internet, i had to disable the connection device, next enable, then it work. This almost happen every time i reboot the win7 OS. So what your diagnosis?

 

LAN card drivers perhaps ? Uninstall the drivers & install them again. Use the drivers provided by the motherboard manufacturer.

 

Thanks mate for the suggestion, will revert after checking.

Much much appreciate the full advice. Some Malaysian FoxPro accounting package.

You are right about the driver, on checking it is a fully working version from supplier.

 

Friend, follow the steps, so far no new manifestation.

Should be ok, as the problem was not throwing up for a while even before these steps. It could have been a contact issue too as i did make sure the wire connection fits right.

Kind Regards.
