Re: Fixed Lease DHCP Doesn't Work After Connecting Different Netwo

I tried ipconfig /release, and ipconfig /renew but I would not get the
correct IP assigned. I even tried "nuke-ing" my network stack using the
command on Scott Hanselmann's blog, but I still had the incorrect IP. The
only way that I found that works is speciying a fixed IP and then changing
back to DHCP.

Any idees?

Everytime I use my laptop on another network and get leased an IP and
then return to the office I don't get my "fixed lease" IP based on
MAC address. The only way to get my assigned IP again is to assign
myself a fixed IP and then change back to DCHP. Somehow, these
actions reset something so that I get leased the correct IP again..

Why is this happening and who can I fix it without assigning myself a
fixed IP, applying and changing back to DHCP.

BTW - I'm not using wireless.

Thank!

This is normal but you're making life harder than you need to to fix it.
Either use ipconfig /release ....ipconfig /renew, or repair your connection
by right-clicking on it.
