Guest EGA Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Hi Whilst my Motherboard was being repaired another was temporarily installed but with a different Network Card. Since then whenever I try to set up a Network between my PC and my Laptop I get an message to say that my IP Address is being used by another Netwpork Card but that it is not connected to this machine and do I wish to choose another, warning me that the "other" device may not work if I say no. Of course I say no and everything works. However, Event Viewer shows an error every time I boot up with the message "The IP Address lease {my IP Address} for network card with network address {my existing Card's MAC identification} has been denied by the DHCP server {my Router/Modem IP Address}. The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message". Obviously, somewhere in my system there remains a reference to this previous loaned Network Card. Can this "reference" be removed and if so how? -- EricG

Guest EGA Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: Mystery Ethernet Card Hi I don't know as I am not aware of such a setting - where would I look for this? -- EricG "JockoBailey" wrote: > > "EGA" <EGA@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:F94759C8-D7AA-4CBF-8436-F1A88378EE74@microsoft.com... > > Hi > > > > Whilst my Motherboard was being repaired another was temporarily installed > > but with a different Network Card. > > > > Since then whenever I try to set up a Network between my PC and my Laptop > I > > get an message to say that my IP Address is being used by another Netwpork > > Card but that it is not connected to this machine and do I wish to choose > > another, warning me that the "other" device may not work if I say no.
