Re: The DHCP Allocator Has Disabled Itself....

I've got a home user customer who is experiencing poor Internet performance at times on an XP Home SP2 machine that is connected via Ethernet to a Belkin wireless ADSL Modem/Router. There's no obvious problem as far as the ADSL installation or line stats but the System Event Log of the XP machine is full of many occurrences of the following event:

Source: IPANTHLP
Category: None
Type: Error
Event ID: 30013

"The DHCP allocator has disabled itself on IP address 192.168.2.2. since the IP address is outside the 192.168.0/255.255.0 scope from which addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP allocator on the IP address please change the scope to include the IP address or change the Ip address to fall within the scope."

The Belkin Router is assigning itself 192.168.2.1 and client addresses from 192.168.2.2.

The IP address the XP machine is getting, 192.168.2.2, is within the reserved address range so I'm not sure why this error is being generated. Can anyone help?

This sounds like you have configured ICS (which wants to set the local NIC to 192.168.0.1) and that you then set a static IP address of 192.168.2.2 on that NIC.

Open Network Connections and make sure that none of the NICs are shared
