DHCP Problem with small xp network.[MOVED FROM WINDOWS]

[harpbill25]

I am running a small network at one of my offices and for some reason dhcp is not working for two of my machines. I only have 4 machines on the network. The weird thing, is that both machines stopped working at the same time. However, when I stick a static IP address in them they work. I have rebooted by switch, my router and my dsl modem. I have done just about everything short of reinstalling the nic and rebuilding the tcp/ip stack.

Pick one of them and let's see if we can figure it out.

Check your Services are Started on all PCs:

• COM+ Event System (for WZC issues)
• Computer Browser
• DHCP Client
• DNS Client
• Network Connections
• Network Location Awareness
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
• Server
• TCP/IP Netbios helper
• Windows Zero Configuration (wireless configurations)
• Workstation

Note: You can check the services in Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.

All of these services should be started, and their startup type should be automatic (or perhaps manual).



Let's see this as well.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
