Cannot get IP assigned automatically
I have a Vista Notebook configured with a Workgroup.
I connect to a 2003 server (Active Directory & domain) either with wireless or cable. It always gets the error that it cannot contact the DHCP server and times out when I try to have IP assigned automatically. If I enter values in the Alternate screen everything connects fine. This always worked OK with my XP notebook which I sadly had to retire. -- Thanks, Uwe

Yes, the windows2003 server is set up to provide DHCP, DNS, and Print server.
It's a very small home network. -- Thanks, Uwe "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Is the Windows as DHCP?

I gave up on Vista. I wiped the machine and installed XP and all is working
fine. Just finished - took a while. -- Thanks, Uwe "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Try to re-configure the NIC.
