Dial-up DHCP problems

Upon bootup of an NT40 Workstation machine I get "One or more services were unable to load" and I came to find out it was TCP/IP. I also get a message that said DHCP was unable to aquire an IP for the computer...which of course it can't since I haven't compleated a connection yet. I set DHCP to manual which didn't help anything, and then I disabled it; however that causes a problem when I try to dial in to my ISP. Neither helped my service loading error either. Any ideas....?

I've seen same problem when NT loads services that tries to logon to a domain or server on startup. Goto services and change the auto load at system/startup to manually load....argh can't remember name of the service...goto Error log to get the name of the service that didn't load and opt to manually load on startup

Happy T-Day, I have just wound up with this very same problem...I' almost sure my IP does not run by DHCP. It began after I installed IE5.5... >> After installing IE5.5; got an error message saying: Title bar: "Service Control Manager" Message: "At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the Event Log for details." Event Log said: Error 7:20pm >> "The Computer Browser service depends on the Server service which failed to start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning." ...and... >> "The Server service terminated with the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning." I could not get online...IE5.5 had reconfigured my connections. I called Gateway to figure things out...they walked me through Network tab in Properties program; MS TcP/IP properties. We added "MS Loopback adapter", to check the modem on the Gateway server. Modem fine. Now modem & internet works, but get constant error message "DHCP cannot connect with server." ... Hangs up at Startup, too. I've tried opening services tab to change the DHCP auto load at system/startup to manually load, but that doesn't improve things. I must be missing something in front of my nose....I hope to try Linux soon.
