Re: DHCP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Your Ethernet card is looking for a DHCP server

You can change this - go to the Properties dialog box for the card, choose
"Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click the Properties button, then unselect
"Obtain an IP Address Automatically".

However, you will need to manually set your IP information if you do this.

BTW, this is a Media Center newsgroup, this question would be better posted
in a general XP group or a Windows networking group.
