I am having problems with a compaq computer obtaining an IP address. The
computer has Windows XP on it. It was working for a few days, but for some
reason it doesn't any longer. The IP address that it shows it has is
169.254.104.135. When I go to Repair Connection in Windows, I get the
following message, "could not finish repairing renewing your IP address". If
I go to the command prompt, type ipconfig /release, it shows that it release
the IP address, it shows it as 0.0.0.0. When I type ipconfig /renew, the
following message come up, "An error occurred while renewing interface Local
Area Connection. The requested service provider could not loaded or
initialized." I have tried installing a new network card as well, but I get
the same messages. I have tried different cables, as well as plugging it
into a DSL modem and a router and still get nothing. I can set an IP address
and it will show that it is connect to something, but I can not access the
Internet or anything else on the network.

Go to Start > Run > services.msc, and make sure that the DHCP Client
Service is started and is set to run automatically.

Look for relevant messages in Event Viewer (Start > Run >
eventvwr.msc). For more information, see:
