I have Windows XP with SP3. It doesn't obtain IP address automatically via DHCP. I need to configure it manually. I want it to obtain automatically. Please help.
What kind of DHCP server are you running, any kind of server, router or modem to optain ip from your ISP? You are expecting our help, we are expecting your response !!!
yes its DSL modem. I think there is any service in "windows services" that is disabled. but I dont know which service. any way waiting for ur suggestion, thanx.
The service for DHCP is DHCP client. What does an ipconfig /all show?
Is DHCP enabled?You are expecting our help, we are expecting your response !!!

hey I have checked the service DHCP. It is automatic but stopped. When I start the service. It doesn't. It shows error.
Could not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer. Error 1068: The Dependency service or group failed to start.
You may try the following: 1. open an administrator command prompt (right click command prompt clicking run as admin
2. type netsh winsock reset in the command prompt and
3. rebootYou are expecting our help, we are expecting your response !!!

How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
not a part of any network. domain or any other.
Let me check it about the user.
windows starts without any authentication. i.e user and password. later. thanks
As I said before it is connected with DSL modem/router only.
You have to figure out, why DHCP service on your computer is not starting. Or, if you know the ip of your router, you can set the ip address of your computer manually.
E.g.:
If the routers ip address is 192.168.1.1, and has a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, you can configure your computers ip address as follows:ip address: 192.168.1.2 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.1.1 (your routers address) DNS server: 192.168.1.1 (your routers address)You are expecting our help, we are expecting your response !!!
Yes dear I have set these config manually a long time ago and working fine. no issue. But I want this to detect automatically via DHCP. thats why I am asking. I want to troubleshoot this issue. Please help. Thanks.
Therefore, you have to check the errors in event viewer to figure out, which service or dependency causes the DHCP client not to start. You are expecting our help, we are expecting your response !!!
