Re: DHCP server

Hello,
I found the Windows XP-SP2, shows the network connection to "limited/no
connection" while the computer directly connected yo ISP.

By default, Windows XP network IP obtained from DHCP server, in your case,
the "ipconfig/renews" will not obtain IP from DHCP server, because there is
no DHCP server exist, you can bind any IP address, such as 192.168.0.1, to
your ethernet adapter.

After then, connect to your ISP. Good luck.
