Re: Unable to contact DHCP server. cannot retrieve IP address
Aha. Thanks again. I am very glad this forum is an active place. NTLââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s tech support folks are tricky to get the information from and expensive to talk to (I have no landline).
OK, it is clearer on the MAC addresses. Still strange mine has changed. I am virus-clean to the best of my knowledgeââ‚ ¬Â¦ And how come on one hand you are saying they only register the modemââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s MAC address and on the other the change of the Ethernet cardââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s address will result in a fresh IP assignment?
In case of FlexLM, well my machine is both the server and a client in two cases. The licensing utilities specifically request a MAC address at the time of a licence issue and the licences cut by the vendors include MAC addresses in the textâ₠¬Ã‚¦
Any suggestion on the router front? I know it is supposed to be for a different forumââ‚ƚ¬Ã‚¦ But as we have already started hereââ‚ ¬Ã‚¦ I have long cables and could go wired if it works OK and is considerably cheaper. Also, what happens with IP addresses if one uses a router? Will the two machines get two addresses from the NTLââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s DHCP server?
And about that clean de-install? Can I just de-install the client the doctor from remove Programs? Will this break the connection? Is there something else that needs removing? Or should I better leave things as they are?
