Re: After 16 hours with MS-help and RoadRunner-help, still NO IP A

Hi
DHCP is a method to obtain an IP address for each computer.
When a computer is set to obtain an IP address Auto then, if you have a Cable/DSL Router, the Router has DHCP server that provides the computer with an IP address.
If you were connected to the Internet Modem directly, your ISP would provide the IP.
If there is No DHCP server available on a local network static IP has to be use.
