</div>Please don't top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread.<br>
Insert your reply into the previous post. Thanks.<br>
<br>
If you go back to the Cisco DHCP server does the Win m/c get a new<br>
address ok? If so then there is some issue with your server or the<br>
PC's access to the server. If not then it is not your server but is a<br>
Win problem. In the latter case a Windows support list might be able<br>
to help.<br>
<br>
One thing you might try, if it is a Win issue, is to set it to fixed<br>
IP on a different address then back to DCHP. Of course you could<br>
just admit defeat and set it to an appropriate fixed address and leave<br>
it there.<br>
<br>
One further thought, if the PC is ok on the Cisco server, how is the<br>
PC connected to your DHCP server? Is it possible that its DHCP<br>
request is not getting to the server? That thought is not consistent<br>
with the unknown lease message mentioned earlier however. I believe<br>
that message is expected when a client asks to continue using its old<br>
address. At that point however the server should issue it with a new<br>
address of course.<br>
