Re: DHCP Issue

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I am not really having the same problem as AW. I can get it to work. I just
have to go to there machine and unistall the network adapter, scan for
hardware changes and it will pull the proper IP. The problem is I have to do
this for every user that leaves the office and connects to another wired or
wireless connection. (ie. hotels). I can get it to work, but it is a pain.
I am looking for a solution so I can automate the process. I have been
playing around restarting the DHCP client and doing ipconig /release and the
/renew. That seems to work without having to uninstall the adapter
everytime. I was trying to find a way to restart that service and do the
ipconfig in a login script or something like that. Any suggestions.
