event warning 1007
Another problem I noticed in the Win XP event viewer, this time it's the system tab.
Each time I log in to the net this warning about DHCP occurs. I won't give you the message cause I have a German version of the OS. Basically, it's about the fixed configuration of my IP address through TCP/IP, nothing about the error with the same event number. The fixed IP is in the 169.254.x.xx range . It's just a warning, but I'm still a bit worried about it. Is it a security leak? My ISP needs DHCP, can't disable it. Sometimes the "preparing connection" window takes a while to pop up which can be connected to a DHCP problem I've heard. |

Abraxas, how do you connect to the net? Is it dialup or cable or??
The 169.254 IP address is used by windows when DHCP times out (or windows is being gay..). A quick google yielded this link with the same number event warning: It also has several solution suggestions. http://www.tech-forums.net/computer/topic/779.html Also see this: http://www.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/...2-06/1002.html From what I can tell in the links, the error is a DHCP timeout (like I suspected). The most common suggestion is to check your XP Firewall settings (and any other firewall.) Disable ICS if unneeded (good idea anyway, frankly..) Hope this helps some. |

Yeah, it's a warning like this one from the second page:
Event Type: Warning > Event Source: Dhcp > Event Category: None > Event ID: 1007 > Date: 14/06/2002 > Time: 7:27:10 AM > User: N/A > Computer: BD134492-XPH > Description: > Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network > Card with network address 00E029301716. The IP address being used is > 169.254.122.43. I read that the 169.254. range is used for DHCP in general, it should not be connected to any misbehaviour. As I said I've just that warning at each login, nothing serious happens as a consequence of this. No timeout for certain. But after all I don't need that static IP and I might turn of ICS as well. I have DSL running on PPPoE. Direct connection. Only one machine. I use only the Sygate Personal Firewall and Windows firewall is disabled. Last edited by Abraxas; 07-16-2003 at 09:35 AM.. |

That's fine.
Your machine does not have a static IP assigned for one of its network interfaces (like a network card), and can't find a DHCP server on your network to get an address from, so its just made up its own. Nothing to worry about, but good that you are looking into these things. |
