Hi - hope someone can help!
I have a W2K machine that has worked on the network, but has had some 'tinkering' done on it and now i cant get it to work. It doesnt appear to find the dhcp server (which is our router), and therefore isnt assigned an IP address. Trying ipconfig /all, i get:
Connection specific DNS suffix :
Description : Intel(R), etc
Physical Address : etc
DHCP enabled : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled : No
IP address : 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask : 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway :
DHCP Server : 255.255.255.255
DNS Servers :
If I try fixed IP, it works and I can see all machines on the network, but I am unable to get connection to the internet.
I have tested all hardware, by unplugging the network lead from the 'faulty' PC and plugging it into a knoown good one (XP OS though) and this worked OK.
Is there any way I can monitor the W2K network traffic to see whether it is actually attempting to register with the DHCP server?
Is there any handy tips that anyone could recommend for me?
I have just spent the last day trying to fix this and i am just about ready to throw it out of the window (no pun intended!)
Thank for any help
