DHCP client in Windows 2000
This is a discussion about DHCP client in Windows 2000 in the Windows Networking category; The DHCP client in Windows 2000 seems to be not working properly. I have both Windows 98 and Windows 2000 installed on the same machine, but Windows 2000 simply refuses to grab the IP address from my ISP.

first:
Try removing the nic and reinstalling it with any updated drivers from there website if you can. Verify that everything is set to obtain automatically.
Then if it still doesnt work change the media type to 10baset instead of autodetect because cable modems only support 10mbit.
Do you have any other nics installed? Any conflicting network software?

It seems like a very serious bug has been uncovered in W2K. You cannot allocate more than 51 IP addresses using DHCP...i just saw this one on the net yesterday, and it was shocking. M$ took 2 weeks to reproduce the bug, and it calls it an "issue" not a "bug".

I had the same prob, the DHCP service was not on as default. In help it said "The DHCP is on as default when using dialup...", but it isnt! Now I have it on automatic!
