Hi
Currently have an issue with a laptop on my home network, for some reason Windows keeps assiging it a 169.xxx.xxx.xx IP address as it cannot seem to get one from the DHCP server.
I've tried:
> ipconfig /release (& renew)
> uninstalling/re-installing the network adapter
> upgrading driver softare for the network adapter
Still have had no joy, have a various laptops/smartphones currently on the network without an issue. I guess i could try assigning the laptop a static IP address but that would only work temporarily (because of the DHCP).
Any suggestions on what else i could try? Could it be an issue with the NIC?
