RE: Obtaining an IP address at startup


Well Run the ipconfig /all on this machine and another machine, then
compare the output and see which identical to the other machine, my feeling
is somewhere along the line one of the machine is stealing the IP address and
assign it to itself, which causing this machine to not assign a new IP (but
I can't see this in Auto settings).
Meaning who comes first get it, but I can't see where the culprit can be it
could be any machine!.
Are you sure all machine all assigned Auto IPs, what the Range of the IPs is
it 12.44.15.1/245, if the Router 192.168.2.1 say for ex the rest of your
machine should be in this range 192.168.2.1 /100 or more it depends on your
IP schema.
I hope I understood you right?.
12.44.15.117 it doesn't looks right to me if you have the IP set to Auto
from the Router?
Try to ipconfig /all on this machine and another machine and compare the
output.
You could uninstall and reinstall the TCP/IP or the network card and see if
that will clear things for yout.
HTH.
Let us know.

Thank you for your assistance. I did all that you suggested and all settings
were correct. It still does not work.

At boot time the assigned IP address is 192.168.1.117

after ipconfig / release; ipconfig /renew the IP address is 12.44.15.209
which is consistent with by ISP IP addresses.

Thank you

I have a new dell with windows xp. When I boot it always defaults to the
default IP address. I must do an IPCONFIG /release and renew in order for it
to obtain the IP (not static) from my ISP.

This happens with our without my router. I think I have checked all the
settings for my network connection but do not see an issue.

I have other computers on the same network and do not have an issue.

Thanks

Be sure this computer IP address is set to get the Automatic IP address from
the router, to do that follow this:
Click Start >> Control panel >> Network and Internet Connections >> Right
click your connection and select properties.
On the connection Properties under General click and highlight the Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties and see if the setting set to get IP
and DNS auto from the gateway.
Then Open the Run command and type in: ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
then type in: Ipconfig /release click [OK]
and type in: netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot your machine and see if the machine will be assigned a new IP.
P.S have a look in the Hosts file and ses if there is a Static IP assigned
there.
HTH.
