Can renew IP address

[Guest wli2k2]

I have a laptop with Windows XP Home with SP3. I connect the laptop directly

to the DSL router and it is set to get IP automatically. However, the last

few days I noticed that it does not generate IP address. I know the DSL

connection is OK since I tried another laptop. I got another PCMCIA NIC and

yet it also cannot get an IP address. I did get a reply by ping 127.0.0.1.

 

Any ideas what's wrong?

Re: Can renew IP address

 

Open a Command Prompt and enter:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

I'm having the identical problem. JS's suggestion did no work. Any other

ideas?

Re: Cannot renew IP address

 

Any third party firewall installed? If so, it may be blocking DHCP requests.
