Hey guys!!!
I am having some problems with my windows xp network that I have setup here at work. I have a total of 15 pc’s connected at any given time to this workgroup. We currently have a fractional T1 which is running into our company firewall (hardware), then into a network switch. The firewall has the option for DHCP services which we are trying to utilize. Our firewall is set to the default settings for automatic ip assigning but when a pc logs on to the pc connected to the network…..somehow a different ip address is getting assisgned.
For instance….
I have the ip address to start at: 192.168.1.30
What I get at each pc is: 192.168.0.1 (+And up)
After the pc is logged on I have to go to the command prompt & do a IPCONFIG /RELEASE & a IPCONFIG /RENEW
Then the correct IP address will be assisgned.
A few more things to mention:
We were running a hodge-podge of mixed OS’s (Windows 2000, XP home, Pro)
Both technical support people from my T1 & the firewall company said that a DHCP service is running from one of the PC’s in our network.
I have since upgraded every single PC in the network to:
WINDOWS XP PRO SP1
OFFICE 2003
I am still having the same issue at every pc.
Please help me out on this, I have hit a wall on figuring this one out. I appreciate any help you guys can give!!!
Sincerely,
Aaron
