The PC is not seeing the DHCP server. i) Check to see if you have link lights. Note:- If you moved it from a different segment then release and renew the IP address. (ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew) ii) Run the Nic Diagnostic Program, if there is one (3COM & Intel do). iii) Ping the DHCP Server. iv) Assign a Static Address. v) Remove the NIC drivers and replace with the latest version.
well, i did move the sys to new segment and release/renew. I still get that msg in event viewer. I was wondering what would cause the problem. I know dhcp works and i was able to renew ip. what could cause the sephamore timeout? thanx again
