Hi all,

I have got a real strange on here for you all...

One of the machines (WinXP SP1) on our network is having issues obtaining an
IP from the DHCP, nor ping the DHCP server works. The DHCP server is up and
running because all other machines on the network are fine. Here is what I
have tried so far.

1) Assigning a manual IP. Failed to ping the DHCP.
2) Tested the network cable with a testing kit for belkin. Cable is fine.
All the strands match up okay.
3) Switched ports on the switch. Failed.
4) Uninstalled the drivers, then reinstalled. This worked until a couple of
reboots later, then it failed again.
5) Disabled the onboard nic and installed a new pci nic that I know works
because it was in another machine and worked fine. This failed. The nic is
installed okay but it too cannot get an IP.
6) Reinstalled XP, this was okay for a while and then the a couple of days
later it started to fail to obtain an IP again.

The only thing I think it maybe is something on the computer (virus
maybe) that is screwing with something!

Any ideas?

Cheers
