I've got a Compaq Armada M700 P3 1GHz with an Intel Pro/100+ Mini/PCI
(onboard) that's driving me out of my mind. Here's the low-down.
It's in to be reimaged to XP Professional SP1. I've got a Ghost image
that I use for my other 50 or so M700s and it works just fine. It has
the latest Intel drivers built in to it. After imaging this one, I
get the following events in my System Event log:
"Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network
(from the DHCP Server) for the network card with network address
00D0593A087E. The following error occured: The semaphore timeout
period expired. Your computer will contintue to try and obtain an
address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
followed immediately by:
"Your computer has lost the least to its IP address 10.2.101.247 on
the Network Card with network address 00D0593A087E."
At no point does the machine appear to give up and give me an
autoconfigured address. It simply keeps filling my event log with
those two events (interspersed with a few W32.Time and Server Service
errors).
Here's what all I've done (in order)
1) Tried the other 14 ports on the switch (16 port Netgear 10/100
autosense w/ dedicated uplink), same problem.
2) Bypassed the switch it's currently on, same problem.
3) Uninstalled card through device manager, rebooted, same problem.
4) Installed latest Intel drivers on basic XP install, same problem.
5) Ran "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt," rebooted, same problem.
6) Unchecked TCP/IP for that card, rebooted, rechecked, same problem.
7) Repaired XP using an XP SP1 CD (not the recovery console, the full
repair), same problem
8) Repeat 1-6, no luck.
9) Reinstall XP SP1 from scratch of MSDN Subscription CD, same
problem.
10) Repeat 1-6, no luck.
11) Assigned a static IP to card (10.2.101.247, subnet of
255.255.254.0, gateway of 10.2.100.10, normal settings for our
network), no problem!
I can ping, I can tracert, I can go places and see things and it's
wonderful. So I ran Windows Update and installed Symantec Antivirus
8.1 Corporate Edition (best be safe). I change the card back to DHCP
and the errors and general lack of an IP addresse came back.
Now, I know that this card is capable of getting a DCHP address. I
have the PC in Ghost right now displaying 10.2.101.247 as it's IP
address, and it's running a Ghost session to put down the image I
normally use.
Before I put it in for mainboard replacement (still warrantied,
thankfully), does anyone have ANY other suggestions? The end-user is
getting kind of annoyed with the clunky old P3 550MHz loaner I gave
him.
