Does anyone know why some of the computers in our department would be
getting this message when trying to connect to the internet:
"Your computer is not using a dynamic IP address with dhcp.msu.edu. "
Since the past weekend just a few computers have
spontaneously "lost" their dhcp addresses and for some strange reason
cannot get one back. It's being assigned a pre-dhcp registration IP
(35.15.120.xxx) outside of our 35.9.168.xxx pool. I've tried the usual
release/renew, uninstalling and reinstalling the NIC, removing all entries on
the NIC, setting a static IP for a few minutes then released it, switching
ports, switching cables, and I have even tried a winsock fix tool that was
suggested by the ACNS Helpdesk. Notta!
Please let me know if you have suggestions. Feel free to call or direct
mail me if need be.
Thank you,
